Thesis 68

Taxes are far too high for middle income earners. Many see this as a punishment for their performance. The increase in tax rates starts too early and burdens lower incomes disproportionately.

However, due to the inflation rate and the development of purchasing power, not only the income limits but also the cost of living have shifted significantly over time to the extent that the set framework is no longer fit for purpose. All fixed tax rates are to be shifted upwards by EUR 15,000 on a linear basis to restore tax justice.
