Just a few thoughs:
- The rise of taxes to the rich is usually no more than an excuse to raise taxes to everybody.
- I do not think it is a crime to be rich or they merit any kind of punishment. Removing a person more than 50% of their salary as it currently occurs in many countries in Europe, in my opinion, is a simple robbery. Recently, Amancio Ortega, owner of Inditex, donated €320 million to buy new machinery for hospitals against cancer. In some parts of Spain, the extreme left rejected such offer because they considered it "alms".
- Since the crisis began, taxes were skyrocketing throughout Europe, with the excuse that money was needed. Many years later the level of debt has not been lowered anywhere, on the contrary, they do not stop growing, in most cases, already above 100% of GDP. Neither the taxes nor the expenses have not stopped growing. Maybe only Ireland has improved markedly in this regard, to my knowledge, just by lowering taxes.
- Tax havens work because there are tax hells.
- Many people yearn for a tax increase yearning for it, somehow reach them. In my opinion, what you have to do is lower taxes and the prices of things. With this we will be able to be more competitive and increase our quality of life. I prefer to win €1,000 with a €100 mortgage than to earn €3,000 with a €2,600 mortgage.
- I do not know many good politicians, but they are not a separate race, but a reflection of the society that votes them.
