Just tax the bloody inheritance and family funds/foundations, even leaving some tax-free amount. No impact on employment, no impact on less privileged people, no impact on jobs creation, just pure reduction of deficit.
If you look for extra income tax higher every second and third property, again no impact on working class, no impact on employment, pure reduction of deficit. Make progressive tax – 15% on second, 25% on third etc.
There are really easy ways to generate income without impacting employment, job creation or taxing our labour even higher.
Belgium suffers from perpetually too high tax on labour and too low tax on wealth (inheritance, properties, assets etc.)
Drive electric & charge If possible maximum on solar or at low price points with dynamic tariff.
Until they find out they are missing out and tax that as well.
Yet fuel is dirt cheap here compared to the Netherlands. It’s like a €1/liter difference right now, that is immense.
Just owning a car in terms of taxes and costs, everything is way more expensive in NL. I’d say there is a lot to gain there + people might stop using their cars to go take a shit as is custom in Belgium.
And oh, fuck salary cars :), that really is the most retarded system ever (coming from someone who has one).
Maybe It’s time to review the way electricity is billed to the consumers and corporations: we need to stop paying nuclear, wind and solar at the price of gaz just because gaz is the last piece in the energy supply chain.
Just maybe.
