A quite recent political movement is ATTAC (Association pour une
Taxation des Transactions financières pour l’Aide aux Citoyens), the
international anti-globalization movement, founded first in France in
1998, but now active in about 30 countries.
The "%" sign probably allude to the demand for the so-called Tobin
Tax, a global tax on financial transactions, which is a central part
of the ATTAC programs.
