Carlos Slim

You don’t need to raise taxes on rich people, because they create capitalization and investment. But you need to tax speculation—meaning capital gains. Why should it be just 15 percent? Salaried people pay 35 percent. Why shouldn’t that be paid on capital gains?”.

“The welfare policies that you are following—you and Europe—are unsustainable,” Slim argues. “You cannot have people retiring at 60 years old, and you cannot provide universal health care the way you do. That’s crazy. The focus should be the support of small- and middle-size business. That is where the employment is. And there should be investment in the real economy. Infrastructure is an example. And the best way to do that is with the private sector. It’s more efficient.”


Em resumo, Carlos Slim, o homem mais rico do mundo, recomenda taxar os lucros financeiros, apoiar as pequenas empresas e diminuir o Estado Social.
Eis uma receita razoável, com bons princípios gerais para ultrapassar a crise.
