German banking giant Deutsche Bank is calling for a “privilege tax” to be imposed on people who work from home, to erase their savings from not having to commute or pay for food on their lunch breaks.
Writing in a paper for the bank titled What Must We Do to Rebuild? analyst Luke Templeman lamented the fact that “remote workers are contributing less to the infrastructure of the economy whilst still receiving its benefits.”
“That is a big problem for the economy,” he complained — as if spending much of one’s pay on commuting, dry-cleaning work clothes, and so on to boost the GDP is something of a civic duty — and proposed a 5 per cent “privilege tax” to recoup the economy’s imagined “loss”.
“Working from home will be part of the ‘new normal’ well after the pandemic has passed,” explained Jim Reid, Global Head of Fundamental Credit Strategy and Thematic Research at the German banking corporation.
“Our calculations suggest the amounts raised [from taxing home workers] could fund material income subsidies for low-income earners who are unable to work remotely and thus assume more ‘old economy’ and health risks,” he suggested.
Their estimated tax take from the scheme in Britain stands is £7 billion, with the potential to grab €20 billion (£17.8 billion) in Germany and $49 billion (£37 billion) in America.
I thought telework was good for the environment like electric cars? But now governments want to tax electric cars to make up for the lost gas-tax $. It's almost as if the government just wants to extract as much as possible from the public and specializes in concocting high-minded excuses for doing so...

Someone want to explain why a bank is demanding taxes? Sounds like they’re openly stating they are the government, which I know they are, but wtf

The people want a "Predator Tax" imposed on bankers who suck our blood.
James King
The fact that these fucks are even allowed to have any policymaking opinions at all and arbt confidened to their conference rooms is testament of the utter state of "democracy"
>being this mad at a portion of wagecucks experiencing an improvement in their working condition BTW, wasn't Deutsche bank on the verge of collapsing something like 2 years ago?
Logan Martinez
>“remote workers are contributing less to the infrastructure of the economy whilst still receiving its benefits.” time to start taxing women and migrants more, then?
Jason Thompson

Housemaids dont work from home retard. They go to other peoples homes. Fuck, I hate Americans so much
Owen Murphy
No, you can't.... But you can murder everyone who blindly follows that idea
Jonathan Stewart
Are these people retarded? If one works from home one spends more on bills than if I would go to the office. Then on top of that they want to add a tax? rofl
Blake Cruz
So, what about outsourcing labour? Or moving manufacturing out of country? That is not considered robbing by these bankers...
Oh, that's right. I forgot that my food grows inside the fridge. Silly me.
Fucking jews.

How Deutsche Bank are able to lecture anyone on priviledge idk I hope they collapse already, retards
Jackson Reyes
Every "bank" or "business" that proposes laws and taxes should themselves be fined for having the privilege of being in such a position to advise. What hypocrites!
Carson Morales
This I will not tolerate.

And why shouldn't it? You've had 400 years of oppressing people for economic gain,

Jayden Adams
They literally are unable to collapse as the government always gives them emergency funds when they're about to.
Ian Russell
>Privilege tax This WILL NOT END HERE. Mark my words, this will only be the first of systematic oppression against those they deem to be "privileged."
Jeremiah Clark
You're good, then. Me, too. I'll have your fresh shipment of culture shipped tomorrow btw.
Ian Foster
Why does a BANK get to ask the government to steal money from working people on their behalf???
>nigger you will never be your preferred gender or color
Jayden Morris
Also, why the fuck don't you just give away 7-20 billion yourself, bank? These unintelligent autonomous corporations are sickening! They will be damned and cursed for their "suggestion".
..don't let things get so bad that the first born son of each of these banks leaders will be cursed to perish.
John Price
German wagies paying 'privilege tax' to bail out billion dollar multinational bankers.
People who work from home should be given tax rebates. They are not commuting. They are not contributing to "climate change." They are not taking up space which could go to housing other human beings.
Chase Hill
Good. Fuck programmers and similar "workers".
Lincoln Bailey
Its a slippery slope when they mix “privledge” in with the word “tax”. That could become a bottomless pit.
Jayden Miller
It was a paper by an analyst. They put them out all the time to get discussions started. This one got traction because it suits people's arguments. The banks only real position is a bigger economy, more people and more debt because these things make the bank money.
Carter Barnes
Cheers, my weekly dose of feminism and nigger culture was running low. The world is lucky to have a country that exports it so much
Jaxon Williams
Absurd premise. People still eat lunch at home. Dry cleaning? What, maybe 10% of the workforce has clothes that need it. The only real change is the lack of a commute, which I thought was supposed to be a good thing because muh environment.
Fuck banks.

WE NEED BAILOUT TAX MONEY GIB GIB GIB
I am not surprised
Henry Price
We should bomb them harder next time.
Jace Torres
Ironically demand for programmers further increased in germany this year. There is probably no job as demanded currently as IT specialists.
Ethan Phillips
You people just don't understand anything. When I export your job to a third-world country massively lowering my expenses it is good for the economy and you need to stop complaining about it. But when you work from home massively lowering your expenses it is bad for the economy and you need to pay for it.
It's just that simple. Now get back in the cagie or pay the freedom tax.
Jack Lewis
They know whats coming. When the city economy collapses all these kikes with their urban property will go broke
Isaiah Richardson

I'm not sure i buy into this great reset shit but the phrase 'old economy' is a bit alarming that they've named our current economy that
