Dit is dan wel weer een bijzondere vorm van coping. Het probleem is, als je dit soort dingen zegt tegen een onderzoeker, wordt het als een stroman geplakt op een hele groep. image View quoted note →

Someone crazy person just proposed an 8,5% wealth tax to replace income tax. And then says: > Young people with high incomes now often spend on luxury, because saving for a house seems unfeasible. "If they can build wealth faster, they will postpone that expensive journey for a while," says Kooiman. How do you build wealth if it's taxed at 8.5% per year? Sounds to me like this forces everyone (even more) to get a mortgage, because a home is taxed less than every other asset and won't pay net worth tax until you've repaid the house.
