Role of tax policy in times of crisis (debate)
Madam President, the report reveals the anti-grassroots aims of tax-laundering the European Union, of bourgeois governments at the expense of the people, as with the 'bloody' surpluses of the New Democracy government: Recovery and attraction of entrepreneurship, hymns for the benefits of teleworking with new tax breaks for financial groups and their executives. It calls for additional environmental taxation for the people to subsidize green predator groups, while incentivizing green investments in capital. It provocatively cultivates the narrative that the abolition of unfair indirect taxes supposedly favors the rich, while workers and the struggling self-employed see their income evaporated by obligations, inflation, direct and indirect taxation. The poverty of the many is the result of the profit of the few. This is what the European Union, bourgeois governments and the predatory tax system perpetuate. Workers and the struggling self-employed must fight against the strategy of the European Union, governments and monopolies, demand real wage increases, a tax-free threshold of EUR 12 000 plus for each child, the abolition of indirect taxes on energy and fuel, VAT on popular consumption items, demonstrate en masse on 15 December.
