The government's sensational slip on income meter it obviously sparked a great debate in the media. A debate which, as unfortunately happens with particularly complex topics, tends to simplify the issues, often tickling the bellies of Italians.
In the same article, signed by Angelo Mincuzzi, the assumption is clearly expressed which would indirectly justify the adoption of a sort of fiscal big brother: “In the last ten years, taxes evaded in Italy have reached the remarkable figure of 932.3 billion euros. Almost 1,000 billion that could have been used to reduce taxes (for those who pay them) and improve the lives of all of us.”
In my opinion it is a colossal nonsense whichhowever, tickling the ancestral mechanism of social envy, is used by the single party of taxes and public spending to increase the tax burden, justifying the introduction of new taxes when necessary.
Actually, as he theorized Julian Beloved decades ago, when he was Minister of the Treasury, admitted and not allowed to comprehensively attack tax evasion itself, which in many cases represents an evasion of necessity, a sort of heterogeneity of the purpose could be obtained, leading to a prospective decline in revenue expanded tax system.
Furthermore, the idea that if everyone paid for everything, believing that it would favor the growth overall of social well-being, is based on the assumption, horrendous for a liberal, that the State and its bureaucracy are more efficient and effective in producing wealth than the spontaneous action of private citizens.
This is a pious illusion which, if taken to its extreme consequences with liberticidal tools similar to the income meter, is destined to make the economic system more fragile, discouraging free enterprise. The rest is pure propaganda.
