Is it necessary to tax great wealth? “It is necessary, the inequalities we are dealing with have become unsustainable and unbearable.” Nicola Fratoianni of Avs stated this in an interview with the Quotidiano Nazionale.
«To those who say that it causes elections to be lost – continues the red-green leader – I reply that there is no polling institute that, for many months, has not certified that the absolute majority of citizens are in favor of the proposal put forward by Avs of a tax on very large wealth, which is aimed at 0.1% of Italians, 50 thousand people, with a net worth of more than 5.4 million euros. No particular wrong is being done to them but they can, without any damage – concludes Fratoianni – afford to make a contribution, in the name of the general interest”.
