“Either they ignore the story, or they are hypocrites”: Thomas Piketty Hammers that the reduction of public debt must go through a contribution of the highest inheritance

Guest in BFMTV, the economist recalled that a 2% tax on the highest assets should be part of the public debt reduction measures, even if this measure alone will not be enough.

He persists and signs. Thomas Piketty recalls that the contribution of the highest private heritage to reduce debt is necessary, but not sufficient in itself.

“When we reach this level of public debt, there is always a time when private heritage is affected,” said BFMTV economist. “Those who claim that we can get out of this public debt without involving the highest private heritage ignore history or are hypocrites.”

Thomas Piketty also states that the idea of ​​taxing people with more than 100 million euros in 2% equity would represent an “extremely low” amount and that it would have “a century to reach the 2010 level”.

Gattaz proposes “replace” civil officials “in the industry”

The former head of Medef Pierre Gattaz said it would be necessary to drastically reduce the number of public officials, particularly in the territorial public service and reduce the number of state agencies, such as ADEME (ecological transition) or ARCOM (audiovisual and digital communication).

It proposes “replace them in the industry”, in one of the 15 “fundamental sectors”, citing the environment, health, defense or even artificial intelligence industries.

According to BFMTV, citing concordant sources, the richest companies and individuals will be fine to the next budget. Not to mention by name Zucman’s tax, which is subject to hard debates, the contribution of the highest income will be on the table.
