It's funny how a certain number of subjects turn in a loop ...
I kindly got turned on on another thread when I objected to lowering the TIPP as a "cure" for soaring fuel prices at the pump. I can't get back to it.
I still take my idea: remove the TIPP to increase the VAT is a social nonsense. I explain my point of view:
1) The TIPP "taxes" in proportion to its consumption. Users of bass drums pay more than those who use a small car ... The more petroleum-based fuels increase, and the more "profitable" alternative solutions will become (electric cars, pellet boilers, solar water heaters) ...
*
2) VAT, everyone pays, but the RMIste who will buy a piece of clothing, food (eventually, the rate will be 5,5%).
3) If we admit that we have to "socialize" a certain number of collective charges - and I think so -, then I am for an increase in the TIPP (because we can, in the extreme, escape it = take the transmports in common, buy an electric car, etc ...; we can quite easily reduce = buy a vehicle adapted to his needs and not to his ego!) and a reduction in VAT on certain products (clothes, medicines, food including basic sugar, salt, flour, pasta) because it cannot be avoided. And the poor cannot escape it.
4) We should never confuse the misuse that some make of the collective management systems for certain needs (education, social protection, firefighters, roads, management of natural areas, etc.) and the systems themselves. Take a trip to Africa to see what a tax-free state really is (I spent a dozen years there)!
My point of view, although I have two cars (well, me one, my wife one), it is yes to a gradual and planned increase in the TIPP, offset at the equivalent level by a reduction in VAT on products essential (those bought regularly by a "representative sample" of RMIstes - the show off = cell phone, Nike shoes ... And presto, let's go, it's not easy).
