If your inner world is calm, the outer world will seem quiet too

Nach der Deutschland Premiere in Stuttgart geht "UNTERHALTUNG - ein Sozialdebattl" weiter auf Reise!

15.4.2026 Pantheon Theater, Bonn
23.4.2023 Glashaus, Herten

Auf der Suche nach einer Pflegekraft für ihre steinalte Großmutter, deren Leben als Magd immer nur arbeiten, beten und Schnauze halten bedeutet hat, stolpert Teichmann unfreiwillig komisch über die Fallstricke ihrer eigenen Überzeugungen. Das ist durchaus zum Lachen - und tragisch und berührend.

@Sam35 This world is inherently unfair in terms of wealth, and there will never be any fairness. By the way, are you from the United States?

@Sam35 Of course, this doesn’t mean that a wealth tax is unfeasible, but designing a fair and workable wealth tax system would likely require careful thought and balancing. What are your thoughts on these challenges?

@Sam35 However, I’m also considering some of the practical challenges in implementing a wealth tax. For example, how do we define and assess “wealth”? For highly liquid assets, such as stocks or cryptocurrencies, how can they be regularly evaluated and taxed? Additionally, would a wealth tax lead to capital flight, especially for wealthy individuals or companies operating internationally?

@Sam35 Wealthy individuals often have more resources and means to take advantage of tax incentives and loopholes, which is particularly evident in the wealthier segments of society, resulting in their actual tax burden being much lower than that of ordinary people. By taxing wealth, it could theoretically reduce the ability of the wealthy to evade taxes through such avoidance methods, leading to a more equitable distribution of the tax burden

@Sam35 If personal income tax were abolished and purchasing power were returned directly to ordinary people, a surge in consumption could in turn feed back into corporate profits, and at that point, taxing companies would become a natural step. Do you think this kind of “wealth stored among the people” cycle would be more effective than the current model of “subsidising large corporations” in addressing what you described as corporate socialism?

@globalmuseum Fortunately, there was no significant damage... Cyberattacks are becoming increasingly common, and museums need to be more vigilant about security
