The Soli is a disguised wealth tax – opinion

The levy is such a fine thing: it brings in billions and hardly anyone gets upset about it anymore. But even if the Federal Fiscal Court calls it “not yet unconstitutional,” the government is stealing out of the affair.

Of course, it’s always nice to take the easy route. Especially as a politician, especially when it comes to the money of your own voters. There’s a levy already, so let’s leave it at that. Even if it is no longer needed for what it was originally intended to finance. You can use the money for anything else. And no one screams, the taxpayers have long since gotten used to it.
