Tax Against Poverty

A Proposal for Humanity

Tax Against Poverty

A lifelong struggle against hunger and poverty in the world.

Reply from the Office of the President

1983 — To: Cengiz Emektar

Dear Emektar,

Mr. President thanks you for your letter dated 14.5.1983. He appreciates your struggle against hunger in the world. As you know, the president calls for a donation every year in the Thanksgiving festival with a declaration against hunger in the world.

I find it very interesting to lay a tax on consumer goods such as oil, telephone charges and fireworks to struggle against the hunger problem in the world.

However, the applicability of this proposal can be investigated by the ministry of finance, not by the presidential office. For this reason, your letter has been forwarded to the ministry of finance.

Best regards

Dr. Pieper

My Rebellion

I request everyone who reads this writing answer these questions that I ask to every fair person, even if only to their own conscience. No one in life can claim that a human being was born into this world as a thief, liar, murderer, robber.
