      Propaganda

      I don’t think the deep seated opinions of the Swiss are ‘propaganda’.

      The Swiss will always vote in favor of evil in the name of ‘neutrality’

        Yes, ~4million CHF against (mostly big donations and organisations) vs 400’000 for (mostly small private donations)

    They really have done a great job brainwashing the poor into thinking they’ve got a chance 🤣

      Nah, the current argument is that the rich will just up and leave. So there will be even less breadcrumbs taxes to go around.

        The funniest one was the example of a rich guy leaving germany because of inheritance tax being used to prove this.

        Only that he left germany for switzerland and there’s not really any other countries around with no inheritance tax

    Critics of the initiative said it could trigger an exodus of wealthy people from Switzerland, reducing overall tax revenues. The Swiss government urged voters to reject it.

      I’ve known some rich Swiss in my life, and I can guarantee you that none of them would leave Switzerland over taxes, or any other reason for that matter.

        Amen to that Switzerland is the playground of the super rich, and it’s going to take a lot of taxing before they give it up.
