I know 2% is fairly laughable when we’re talking normal people money, but this is 20 million per 1 billion.
when simply considering the 10 biggest fortunes in France, the tax would bring in no less than €13bn for the state.
A country can do a decent bit of good for people with 13 billion.
Making it 6% would cover the cost of retirement pensions.
That would be amazing! No need for 2% to be the end goal instead of just a good start. A good government serves all its citizens, not just the ones with big bank accounts.
And I would suggest that by starting at 2%, it will be easier to get to 6% later, whereas if you try to start at 6%, you may get too much opposition.
