The 99 percent and the the world’s second-richest man agree on something, but Obama is holding out. A group of American nurses from National Nurses United’s on the frontlines of the Occupy Wall Street protests also came to the G20 summit in Cannes, France this week to advocate for the same thing.

Bill Gates came because French President Nicolas Sarkozy asked him to give G20 leaders recommendations on how to raise funds to meet the needs of the world’s poorest. Among Gates’s proposals: a small tax on trades of stocks, derivatives, and other financial instruments, also known as a financial transactions tax (FTT), Wall Street speculation tax, or the Robin Hood tax.

(viewer discretion required as video depicts violence and blood)

Live video footage from Al Jazeera showing the dead body of Muammar Gaddafi who was killed in the final battle to gain control of Sirte, Libya, his birthplace. While it was believed that Gaddafi was hiding out in the deserts of Southern Libya, it is now discovered that he was leading the fierce resistance in Sirte. It is perhaps ironic that Gaddafi was born and died in Sirte, which originally was a village along the Gulf of Sidra, halfway between Tripoli and Benghazi.
