Spain and Brazil push global action to tax the super-rich and curb inequality

We can see a lot of knee-jerk responses from people with Stockholm syndrome.

- No, the rich won't run away.

- No, the rich are not carrying the country.

- No, caring for another or a lesser fortunate, isn't communism.

It's weird I have to say it, but some really need to hear it.

If the rich won't run away, then Spain and Brazil don't need global action. They could just jack up taxes on the rich in their own countries. And since you've now pinky sworn that the rich will stay and pay the extra taxes, it won't have any adverse effects domestically.
