    OK great, but super-rich are also super-slippery when it comes to escaping taxes by moving assets abroad - so we need a global agreement about this - what’s the process to make it happen ?

      Companies have to be owned by real people directly and foreign companies are not allowed to operate in the country. They have to set up a new separate company in the country, which then pays taxes. The rest can be done using minimum taxes and being hard on tax heavens.
