The progressiveness of the flat tax
This morning I went to Agorà , and therefore first, as a diligent soldier (I obey and fight), I carefully read the press review, containing the retching, until I came across a surprising passage, which brightened my day and that I want to share with you. We know that the position of the mainstream is rapidly evolving (it was also yesterday, when we wrote the dictionary ), but I never expected it to be to the point of convincing Boeri and Perotti to write common sense!
Boeri, you will remember, was the one who confused the monetization of the deficit ( which we talked about here and which in any case is the subject of macro manuals) with the issuance of mini-checks (practically, the #cazzocentra of the century), Perotti was the one who he politely accepted our invitation , only to make considerations not entirely courteous about you .
In short: something very similar to our current virostars, like the one that cuts opinions on how Matteo Salvini would have handled the pandemic (from the opposition!):
forgetting to be a consultant to a prosecutor who is investigating who managed the pandemic according to the Government (and it would be questionable what is the meaning of the candidacy that those who managed the pandemic offered to those who investigated the pandemic).
(… excuse the note: it was just to remind the pandemics that unfortunately there is nothing new in what is happening: it has all already happened and first make peace with this concept first let's try to think together on how to avoid this eternal return – assuming you want to reason …)
Let's go back to the surprising statements of the prestigious duo of egonomists. I quote them here:
"That's all!", One might add.
Now, you will say: what is strange in these words? They are common sense words, they are concepts that we have expressed many times!
Precisely!
It is strange that such refined progressive intellectuals give up wielding like a club, to limit themselves to reading it, the most beautiful Constitution in the world, and that economists with the fetish of the "counterintuitive" ("the poet is the finest wonder" ) fall back on absolutely intuitive, common sense considerations.
We never expected it from them, but let's see the positive side.
Since the piddino, the being who knows he knows, but knows nothing, lives on the principle of authority (having abandoned any misplaced ambition to an autonomous thought), now you have him in your hand: two of the most feathered and wattled shamans of the his village have reached the point where we simple and rough provincial artisans had started: the flat tax is not unconstitutional! There is something to win out of any dispute with your neighbor trimascherati of umbrella!
But I would suggest changing umbrellas: it falls within the spectrum of the possible.
Changing the head of a piddino no.
Seeing is believing: the adjacent piddino will not listen to you even if you mention his reference shamans! And basically this is why we, the Piddini, love it, and we almost feel sorry for what is about to happen to them, if it weren't for the fact that we cannot hide from ourselves that they have amply deserved it …
Ps: in case some incredulous piddino, after being told by his media that the flat tax is unconstitutional, you accuse you of inventing the words of the shamans from scratch, I enclose here the references to the article for completeness of information:
