Discussion
- Christian T. (2026-02-14): That would be discriminatory; a progressive tax would be possible - a taxation only starting from a certain amount X has no chance in court.
- ↳ Raphael Renaud (2026-02-14): Well. That is the joke about a popular initiative, that you adjust the constitution. Every initiative scratches current law, as it is precisely the process of changing this basis. Otherwise, the constitution would be frozen forever. And I doubt that this violates higher law, such as mandatory international law. Besides: with income tax and normal wealth tax, this lower limit already exists.
