"So much you earn, so much you pay”. The Democratic Party raises the patrimonial tax issue once again. "It is not a taboo", the party secretary stated, "but it must be well-structured." According to Elly Schlein, with the current government, "the sacrifices always fall on the same: on those who have the money taken from their paychecks and on the poorest". Schlein went on to say that the Italian tax system is "unfair and complex, whereas other European countries' systems are much easier". "The principle" that governs the tax system, she stated, "should be that of horizontal equity, which is exactly the opposite of how Meloni's right-wing is handling the tax issue”. The leader of the Democratic Party also referenced the discussion that occurred at the G20, which was promoted by Lula, regarding international or European taxation for billionaires. This taxation should encompass the excess profits of banks and large multinationals. As a result, the Democrats are once again discussing taxing large assets. It is not the secretary's first time emphasizing her political-economic vision: "It is necessary to aim for a continuous rate system and increase progressivity," she stated a year ago. Today, confronted with coalition issues and a broad field crisis, Schlein suggests a typical "evergreen" of the left.
