a vast and that pushing more and more people to the brink, the gap between rich and poor keeps on growing. more than half the world lives in desperate poverty on less than 5 euros a day. while the top one percent owns almost 45 percent of global wealth, these ultra rich include tech 1000000000 as ellen mosque bill gates and mark zuckerberg. the owner of d. o been are, are know oil tycoon luke hash m, bonnie and water kings on sean, sean, international and geo oxfam says if the top one percent were taxed just half a percent more over 10 years, nearly 300000000 children out of school could be educated and more than 3000000 people could get life saving, health care, and even some u. s. millionaires themselves want to pay more tax every morning before sunrise, stephen prince takes a walk on the beach and has revolutionary thoughts. prince is a multi millionaire and a thorn in the side of his peers. he's calling for rich,
7:04 am
people like him to be taxed. it's the battle cry of the patriotic millionaires. an exclusive club with 220 members. they say tax and justice is endangering the united states. i to pay tax. nobody likes to pay taxes. but i love this country in the fuel that was with country is tax revenue. we wealthy people in large corporations that are all getting away with murder by not paying our fair share of taxes, we have to pay more. taxes are just no way around it. go. all stephen prince lives in a penthouse right on the beach and a dylan location. but his ideas won't give him any rest till they get like he made his fortune with a gift card business and is now worth around $40000000.00. well was that he don't like him and the top one percent on more than 30 percent of the wealth in the u. s

. a. well paid lobbyists insure them more and more tax giveaways. so our tax system is fraught loaded with loopholes. and the only way you take advantage of them is to do what we wealthy people do. and that is we are very expensive. attorneys, very expensive cpa's. we are some of the largest banks in the world to help us hide our, our income, protected from taxes. stephen prince is not about to give up all his luxuries. his private gent, for example, in which he sometimes lies to bermuda, to golf, and other times to nebraska to hunt pheasant. his calls for a fairer attack system are above all, patriotic, he says. but to many of his financial peers, he's a traitor, they call me a class traitor and a lot of ways of feel like they're traders to the nation because they're only concerned about their own well, their own personal well being. we can still have airplanes. we can still have big
7:06 am
boats, we're still seller l we're, we can still do all of these things and just pay more taxes. but people don't want to realize that that's a case. the patriotic millionaires are indeed a minority among america's wealthy, even in potomac, just outside of washington d. c, which has an unusually high density of high net worth individuals. the owners of such sheltered mansions benefit greatly from ex president donald trump's tax reforms. no wonder the local country club charges $120000.00 just to join the builder. monte ginger is a member and like stephen prince, he also enjoys pheasant hunting travel and fast cars. but that's where the similarities end gingerly opposes higher taxes and disagrees with those who support them. if it really bothers those people that much,
7:07 am
i would say send a couple extra zeros in your tax check to the i r s. and i guarantee, and that one is done so they can say one thing, but then all their money's over here in switzerland or down in the islands instead of taxpayer funded social programs, he feels the rich should make charitable contributions, find donations and foundations that retain control over their money president biden's plans to expand the welfare state. ginger recalls that wishful socialistic thinking and the wrong approach. if you're starting out losing 30 or 40 percent of everything just because you, you're mismanaging it or it's administration or anything else they need to really work on that. a job is 10 times more effective than any a government subsidy program because there's wages. there's, you know, they become a tax fair, you can be conducive. and you know that their tax rate to be adjusted down. back

and ga. steven prince visits his latest joint real estate project with his daughter . courtney prince will inherit her father's fortune and agrees with his views. he in turn, has high hopes for her generation. i'm hoping is that the mess or the whole that we have god for ourselves on this under taxing of our whole generation that they can recover. and i hold that we just have a messed it up so badly that they can't fix it because i don't think we have will to do so. my generation to small were too greedy were too selfish. courtney prince would like to be more optimistic, but she has doubts a in the seventy's. we're all about. peace, love and happiness and doing the right thing and i don't are holding a hands across the planet. and then as they got older and really started making money, they started changing and it became about me, me, me. and so i worry as my generation gets older,

a goalie for higher in rio. but my saw so says still dreams of a career in professional soccer. climate change is taking its toll on many poor nations. droughts, storms and floods are becoming more frequent destroying harvests homes. even entire villages, most affected are developing countries in africa and asia. people that urgently need financial support to cope with climate change. yet as in nepal, often funding doesn't get to where it's needed. residents from the kaski district bid a warm welcome to employees from transparency international. t i n a pull has been coming here since 2020, to come back corruption and protect funds allocated to fight, climate change is elevated. what do i think the central government allocates a budget to climate change?
7:15 am
a good as a book to read agatha of yet just 20 percent of those funds actually wind up with they're supposed to has got it and i'll log that i. well that's what we discovered in our investigation thing with fire. what this had, what did my log book instead of going towards climate change of the moneys often used for meetings or seminars with politicians are cutting them on a lot of dr. whitten's. i and a daughter, a lot of funds are spent on things like that. me not, i don't there gog onto your la thought, forgot about norma. and that needs to change. t i to pull regularly asks residents of caski, how climate change is affecting them. often the local authorities aren't even aware of the problems. so the information that's gathered here is sent to them too. that helps linda voice to people who've previously gone and heard and gives them the courage to advocate for themselves. thus they are, i mean, why let even yoga poseida come compared to mean we women are often less well
7:16 am
educated that, that it, that i say about. but we've started to address the negative consequences of corruption as well as the effects of a lack of transparency. we've become far more interested in these issues as a result. if the older i, they and it accommodates on a highway and live and cause natalia the forest is vital to the people of caskey. it provides them with firewood and food for their animals but now they're very livelihood is at risk. there's been a huge landslide on the other side of the valley and it's not the only landslide that's happened in the region. normally the snow covered on upon a mountains would be visible, but that shrouded in clouds. the monsoons have changed, bringing longer and heavier spells of rain.
7:17 am
i live here, everything is still soaked from the rain. it's been like this with 12 days. even my house was flooded. half the grain is ruined, that it should have been harvested long ago. with many you don't understand the cause of their growing problems. and believe they're being punished by the gods. or we've seen that people don't have any idea about language in an even deanna by when we are starting from scratch and we're finding, it's so difficult to make people understand what's climate change. what's the environment, you know, they're impact loudy. let somebody bridle aguilar, that's why the n g o asked public broadcast a radio, nepal for help, because it's produced ads that raise awareness about climate change. someone in the

guide as in a monitor cassie's after i could with it to rental rains, have also destroyed crops in the chit one district in the south of the country. the farmers try to salvage what they can. the downpours of also cause the water levels of both rivers here to rise the river flood their bank several times a year, often sweeping away homes and farmland. yet instead of shoring of river banks, local authorities often spent climate change funds on roads. the little my law is than any gay beginning mcaden. the local government hasn't been able to develop plans and strategies to tackle these problems. what so the population suffers on bad, like i had done the apple, the money that my part. but philmont even supplied themselves with the bare essentials in offer that they put it out they had. if the fishes are suffering to rising temperatures,
