I didnt say that taxes arent important . They are very important of course .That's true too, but it's a dangerous path. It calls for EU-wide action. There is no legal mechanism provided for something like that, and you see that the EU turning into a superstate sees a lot of resistance from people all over europe.
And I don't think it's small bean to not care about taxation levels and imilar things. That' what nation-states or staes are existing for, for the greater god of its citizens. The state is not legitimated to leech the citiznes dry so that they cannot provide on their own for their old-age sor something, not have anything let to invest in stocks for example, but then pay them ever slimming pensions while spending billions on pseudo-projects, the military and millionsof immigarnts that never worked or will never work here. That's a hard aspect, but it's also a hard truth.
Digitalization, Automatization and other tectonic shifts will lead to millions unemployed while productivity might even rise. So you either get a semi-utopia where autmatons do the work and people get their share of that without or empovered masses. I cannot see the former. I can see the latter. I don't see the elites be concerned about it.
But Isaid they will be unimportant in comparison to the problems arising from a collapsing pension system and mass unemployment.
There will be many people that dont work and in order to keep economy going they must still buy stuff the keep the system going , and they need money for that. Also there should be a tax finance transaction that could be as low as 0,1% and would give the state billions and billions of dollars I dont see any other way. Its stupid to put taxes on labor in the first place but its useless if a lot of people dont even work anymore. But that would have to be done at least in complete europe...
