World Have Your Say

Available for over a year

US President Obama is calling for a fairer America and for the wealthy to contribute more. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has released his tax returns and there's now a debate over whether he pays enough taxes. Meanwhile Bill Gates who was on our 1100GMT edition today thinks the super-rich should give away the majority of their income during their life or in their Will. Is that right? If you are wealthy, would you like to be taxed more? Who are the super-rich in your country, do they owe you anything?
