Comments by "Emanon" (@Emanon...) on "Why Europe Needs Higher Wages" video.
Austerity for 10-12 years fucked the economic basis of Europe and instead vastly enriched the wealthiest 1% - the people who contribute the least to a thriving national economy. Europe needs a "new deal" with investments into social, educational and health structures and a strong counter on corporate and personal tax avoidance (and evasion). Perhaps a (lower) tax on revenue instead of profit over a certain threshold? It would certainly make corporations actually pay their share...

Tax labor lower, tax property, capital gains etc higher. The lower strata of earners contribute vastly more of their income on the local economy, which is why their taxes and average incomes should be the main focus when talking about economic growth.
