Pandemic, war, energy crisis and the highest inflation rate since reunification. Everything is getting more expensive. Above all, the prices of food, housing and fossil fuels have risen. This is particularly affecting those who don't have much anyway. And while the poverty rate has reached a new high, the number of millionaires in Germany has also risen. Their wealth has even grown during the Corona crisis. In view of the current crises, do we need to ask the rich to pay more, for example through a wealth tax? For some, this would be - more than ever - an important sign of solidarity: people with a lot of money could and should pay significantly more in order to distribute the financial burdens more evenly and, above all, more fairly. "The rich already bear a large part of these burdens," replies the other side, fearing that companies will move abroad if taxes are increased. In 13 questions, we discuss whether the rich will have to pay more and what that might look like. #13Questions #WealthTax #WealthTax Our guests: Marcel Fratzscher, economist Olivier David, author Stefanie Bremer, heiress & activist Saidi Sulilatu, YouTuber at @finanztip Anja Schulz, FDP politician Stefan Schröter, family entrepreneur Further sources: https://www.zdf.de/politik/frontal/st... https://www.zdf.de/nachrichten/wirtsc... https://www.zdf.de/nachrichten/panora... https://www.zdf.de/kultur/aspekte/ang... https://www.zdf.de/wissen/scobel/scob... https://www.zdf.de/verbraucher/makro/...
