of editorial Sunday (La Repubblica, September 5, 2010) Eugenio Scalfari condemns the Italian tax authorities' fiscal policy in place has connotations typically classist, it strikes at the bottom instead of the top and actually turned progressive taxation in a real regressive, with lots of greetings to the constitutional principle. "
How to disagree with Eugenio Scalfari. Let me say, without conceit: we know for a long time and were not enough Visco policies to eliminate the structural flaw of tax evasion.
I the director of "Republic", which has more personality than any party leader, should invite the political forces that are on track to be the new "Olive Tree" to make a cornerstone of the future of fair taxation and electoral program, if victory, be consistent. Scalfari, ultimately wants to transfer the tax burden from income to assets. An idea that would have seemed subversive only a few weeks ago.
The "boys of Berlinguer," Scalfari mentor, who gave birth to the Democratic Party, must be a bit 'displaced, having also ironic references to those who would like the class struggle no longer existed.
Whether you are re-opening on the left in Italy a chance to resume a debate that seemed impossible until a few weeks ago? That is the one on social justice and the redistribution of income. Only one hope: hope that the policies of fairness do not become like those of Prodi in 2007 when he distributed about 10 € to workers.
I like to think that in Italy it is reopening the debate in the reformist left. If Chiamparino even says in his book interview, "The Challenge", which "has failed the merger between DS and Margherita, option left reformist government, which has a clear reference in the European Socialists, out of the limbo to become possible.
