1. El Impacto Corrosivo de la Desigualdad de Riqueza en la Sociedad.
La desigualdad económica no es solo un problema financiero, sino una fuerza destructiva que genera inestabilidad social, política y económica, afectando todos los aspectos de la vida moderna.
- Inequality makes monsters and threatens the stability of our economic world.
- Wealth inequality is at the heart of every single problem we see today. Populism. Poverty. Anger. Division. Culture wars. Climate. All of it.
- Its worth remembering that taxing wealth isnt just about raising revenue. Its also a means of tackling the spiralling inequality that has a corrosive effect on democracy and allows for oligarchic concentrations of political and economic power.
- Wealth inequality is killing the world. We need progressive taxation to re-create a fairer system.
- Reducing inequality is essential for the resilience of economies, the stability of democracies, and the viability of our planet.
2. La Tributación de la Riqueza como Solución Central.
Existe un fuerte llamado a reestructurar los sistemas fiscales para enfocarse en la riqueza acumulada, en lugar del trabajo, como el medio principal para abordar la desigualdad masiva.
- Tax wealth not work.
- It is obvious that worsening wealth inequality is driving people further into poverty. It is time to tax the richest - increase taxes on huge wealth, reduce taxes on work.
- Wealth tax would go a long way to helping the inequality in this country. Inequality caused by a few.
- Any government serious about addressing inequality should focus on taxing wealth.
- We need a tax system that reflects inequality, not just inequality in income but inequality in those whove got wealth and assets and those who havent.
3. Propuestas Específicas para la Reforma Fiscal.
Las discusiones se centran en diversas formas de impuestos a la riqueza, incluyendo gravámenes sobre activos, herencias y ganancias de capital, con sugerencias de tasas y umbrales específicos.
- That starts with taxing wealth properly. Not just income but assets, inheritances, capital gains.
- Income taxes only preserve the existing wealth inequality. Only estate and wealth taxes can improve inequality.
- Just tax the super rich a small percentage, wealth inequality is the biggest problem right now.
- If you want to actually fight inequality you also want a, maybe 10 wealth tax on amounts over, maybe 100 million. 2 over 10, 10 over 100.
- A wealth tax of 1 on assets above 10 million would raise 24 billion for public services.
4. Debates y Obstáculos en la Implementación de Impuestos a la Riqueza.
A pesar del apoyo generalizado, la implementación de impuestos a la riqueza enfrenta desafíos políticos y económicos, incluyendo preocupaciones sobre la fuga de capitales y la complejidad del sistema.
- Inequality of wealth matters more than inequality of income. We should tax the rich more. But a blanket wealth tax is not the solution.
- I know its pretty much impossible politically but i think it would work wonders for society.
- A tax on wealth is a much simpler message to convey when trying to address inequality. You have 500 times more than i do. Thats just not fair. But it doesnt address systemic issues. Its a sticking plaster.
- A wealth tax would somewhat ameliorate this widening inequality, making our entire society stronger and more stable, but it would also make rich people a little annoyed even though it wouldnt materially affect their lives in any way, so no wealth tax.
- A criticism of wealth taxes is that they will spur billionaires to flee the taxing country. But that just means we need a global approach to taxing billionaires.
5. La Urgencia de Actuar y las Consecuencias de la Inacción.
La falta de acción para abordar la desigualdad de riqueza se percibe como una amenaza existencial, que conducirá a un empeoramiento de las condiciones de vida, la desaparición de la clase media y, potencialmente, a la inestabilidad social extrema.
- If you dont deal with rapidly growing inequality of wealth, your living standards will get worse-and-worse.
- Wealth inequality will get worse and worse. This not only hurts poor, but it will end the middle class in a generation we need to start taxing wealth not work.
- The economic inequality is not sustainable in the long run-revolution will come unless we smarten up and work to rebalance the economic interests of all.
- Wealth inequality is destroying society, its not supposed to be this way where less than 1 of us plunder the other 99.
- If we dont bring in wealth taxes inequality will just keep growing then the billionaires will own everything.
