Taxes on banks? Miserable proclamations that will never be implemented
Heartened by the presence of Orbán at his rally in Pontida and after having declassified the Railways chaos on a nail, Salvini he gave us, in the boring debate on taxes, yet another pearl by stating: let the bankers pay and not the workers. Apart from the fact that, I take from Treccani, a banker is “one who carries out banking activities as an owner, manager, administrator”, once again Salvini speaks from his gut, with his elementary and paternalistic language punctuated by parentheses, periods and commas. He must have wanted to say that he wants tax the bankspredators – according to Salvini’s microcosm – of lavish profits as if the market were optional.
Even the moderate Giorgietti (the most acclaimed of the ministers) claimed to be the son of fishermen as if being the son of a fisherman or a worker was the safe conduct for eternal innocence. What Salvini said is technically an assist to the banks which, if forced, could easily charge millions of customers (including workers and fishermen) a few more costs to compensate for higher taxes overnight.
What Salvini ignores is that the management of a company occurs by planning investments based on profit expectations which, let’s not forget, is the ultimate goal of a company. So if Salvini and the government want to get their hands on the big chapter of taxes, they should do so, but seriously they would like them to do so as part of an overall plan for the reorganization of revenue and spending (pensions first and foremost, now a taboo for everyone, even for those Salvini wanted to abolish Fornero, didn’t he?).
These last minute chases, without rhyme or reason, only fuel uncertainty, one of the critical factors of business failure. These “last minute” debates only demonstrate the level of one political class (which also involves the opposition) incapable of having a vision, of really thinking about the future of the children (so dear to Salvini’s speech), much easier to set oneself up as a champion of the less well-off by striking coldly, and somewhat at random, who was able to make profits even by exploiting favorable contingent situations (which in other cases were unfavorable).
This move is very similar in its approach to school reform starting from grades, without any serious planning and without any extraordinary investment. It’s the sign of the times, but these miserable proclamations are easier to summarize in a tweet… which disappear as quickly as these outbursts that will never be implemented.
