Public finances need tax increases for all, not just the wealthy, to preserve the social model, says Louis Maurin.
Tax increase needed for public finances
Public finances cannot be restored without increasing revenue, which requires a tax increase for the wealthy as well as for others. Louis Maurin's perspective
Louis Maurin, director of the Observatory of Inequalities, acknowledges that the measure may be unpopular but highlights its merit in preserving the social model. Focus on the wealthy
While the tax increase would affect everyone, the emphasis is on the wealthy, who are seen as better able to contribute to the financial restoration of the country. Social model at stake
Maurin argues that maintaining the current social model depends on ensuring that public finances are stable and that the burden is shared across different income levels.
