Surprisingly and unexpectedly a matter of economic policy was the terminus in the Italian political debate, taking a little 'surprise commentators, opinion leaders and politicians themselves, of course, all agreed to talk about something else, especially prostitutes. The issue is the balance sheet. The first to speak, at the end of December, was Giuliano Amato, who has proposed a special tax to be paid by the richest third of the Italians, to reduce by about one third of our huge national debt, which accounts for 116% of GDP, as the worst in the so-called euro-zone, apart from Greece, but would not be taken as a model. At the end of January instead Professor Capaldo, an economist at the Catholic area, proposed special tax on real estate capital gains, between 5 and 20%.
It should not surprise that a politician socialist culture to propose a sheet, nor surprised that the premier of a center-right government, which is also the richest man in that country, saying that his government will not ever launch such a measure. Beyond the polemics against judges, opposition against the new and old, against journalists, against fate cynical and cheating, with Berlusconi's article in yesterday's Corriere della Sera , he returned to say "something right" , thereby reassuring its electors: no to the sheet, so the arrangement of Mirafiori and Pomigliano against the rights of workers, the reduction of taxes. Then he came back on the reform of Article. 41 of Constitution, to finally give constitutional dignity to the most brazen liberalism, the animal spirits - of this I have already spoken in another "account", the no. 122, to be precise. I repeat: nothing strange, Berlusconi does his job.
I suppose that even the Democratic Party is opposed to the sheet. I honestly admit that I follow daily the trickle-called statements by the leadership of the PD, but, given the precedents, the idea of \u200b\u200bintroducing a capital must play by D'Alema and company more or less like a Trotskyite proposal.
Personally I welcome the proposal suggested by Amato in an interview, however, rather moderate in tone, as it is in ways of the person. There is one point I wish to emphasize in a particular way. He speaks of the Amato and is one of the most critical grounds that the proposal does Courier. For as the Italian tax system is structured, for the high rate of evasion, the capital would amount to only tap the wealth of rich people really are not related to such taxes, and instead hit the middle classes, those that essentially the taxes already paid. The problem is that, beyond the legitimate negative assessment Courier the capital - he does his job as a newspaper of the bourgeoisie - this analysis is cruelly true. In Italy charged troppe tasse quelli che hanno meno, specialmente coloro che hanno un reddito da lavoro dipendente, e ne pagano poche - e a volte non le pagano affatto - quelli che hanno di più. La fiscalità italiana è solo teoricamente progressiva.
Sinceramente trovo che sia un grave errore che il Pd, come ha autorevolmente fatto anche domenica D’Alema, continui a proporre un fronte costituzionale da Fini a Vendola. Detto questo, se proprio non si vuole recedere da questo progetto, sarebbe utile mettere al centro della proposta programmatica di questo strano futuro governo non l’antiberlusconismo, ma la lotta serrata contro l’evasione, per far si che tutti paghino le tasse. In fondo si tratterebbe di una battaglia di legalità, che dovrebbe stay in the heart as much right to the left.
Beyond this hypothetical school, I think that a front of the center which has as its central point is not only the fight against tax evasion, but also a fair tax reform, with a remodeling of the levy, perhaps accompanied by a sheet, be able to speak to a large part of society, perhaps the majority, who find it hard to imagine their future as those who can not organize their own here, and maybe would not even be seen with hostility from a middle class, even if living without too much trouble, is aware of the very serious risk that is running the country. Maybe you could try.
