I am not familiar enough with expenses on governments; however, I suggest raising revenue through increased sales tax on recreational items. I'm not sure how it works in Europe but in America I believe sales tax are reserved for city and state revenue. I would overturn that and allow the federal government to use sales tax as well. I would also do away with taxation on items of necessity nationwide (food, clothing, etc.), income taxes, and direct taxes on businesses.
Instead by shifting all taxation to luxury expenses a fair distribution of taxes is met without complicated regulations. This is because those that don't have the money to spend will obviously not be buying anything. Those that are better off will buy a considerable amount. If they think they are paying too much in taxes, they can simply not buy as much.
Also, they will no longer be able to use the excuse that harsh taxes cut into job opportunities since businesses would not be taxed. If they are being taxed too much that means they are buying too much and obviously not putting it towards creating jobs. Furthermore, this would also cut down on corporate corruption given that the loopholes businesses use to get out of taxes would be removed.
How do you breathe again?
