Taxe Zucman : pourquoi les biens professionnels ne doivent plus échapper à l'impôt
Les ultrariches tirent le principal de leur fortune de leurs biens professionnels. Et ça fait quarante ans qu’ils se battent pour que ce patrimoine reste exonéré de toute taxation.

In Francia si discute di giustizia fiscale, ma in Italia la tassa sui ricchi è un tabù
La proposta di introdurre la “tassa Zucman”, cioè di tassare i grandi patrimoni, è al centro di un infuocato dibattito Oltralpe. Non è ovviamente esente da critiche, ma sarebbe bene avere un dibattito...

The Trump administration has already added nearly $40 billion in new federal subsidies for oil, gas, and coal in 2025, a report released Tuesday finds, sending an additional $4 billion out the door each year for fossil fuels over the next decade.

And guess what, taxpayers are going to pay for it.

In the cheap fun category: Trump posted this morning that he had raised $8 trillion, or $65,000 per household, from import taxes (tariffs) so far this year. Every Republican in Congress can be asked if they agree with Trump's numbers.

Some stats from 100 days in on congestion pricing:
- Complaints about car-honking are down 70%
- The Holland Tunnel has 65% fewer delays at rush hour; time to get thru it is down 48%
- 6 million fewer cars
- Half as many traffic-related injuries
- 1.5 million more visitors to BIDs year over year
How Well Is Congestion Pricing Doing? Very.
One hundred days in, honking is down; bus speeds are up.
