"Rich should give away some of their wealth"

Boris Tadic says he believes the richest people in Serbia should think about a way in which they would give part of their wealth away to the state and citizens. “If that applies to the United States and European Union, it applies also to Serbia,” the Serbian president said in his response to the statement by businessman Milan Beko. "Rich should give away some of their wealth" He also called on the government to think about introducing new taxes in order to make sure that the rich carry the burden of the crisis as well, said reports. Tadic said that those who had acquired major capital during the 1990s, should now demonstrate the same responsibility rich people in the world demonstrate. Beko told B92 on Sunday that Tadic's idea that Serbia's "tycoons" should return part of their riches to the society was incomplete and vague to him. During his yesterday's visit to the Raska District (Sandzak region), Tadic said that he had requested the Serbian government to find a possibility, through legal solutions and tax system, to have the richest people in Serbia carry the burden of the economic crisis and to have a part of their riches included in creating new opportunities for citizens by opening new jobs and for the education and health systems.
