And so now the question is, how do we make a productive use of all that information that HMRC receives each year?

Now it becomes possible for HMRC to actually say, okay, look,

You live in Switzerland, but you used to live in the UK for a very long time and you become very rich in the UK.

Hence, you have to keep paying the minimum tax.

And if Switzerland doesn't tax you, we will collect the taxes that Switzerland chooses not to collect.

Well, what I can say is that in France, that's a proposal that fully unites the left.

It also fully unites the right against it, from Macron to the far right.

But I think, frankly, that's a big problem for them because in the population, you have enormous support.

We're talking about 86% of the population

And that's true in all countries that support this proposal.

And so all the left parties are saying, of course, we should do that.

Many think, and I would agree with them, that we need to do more than 2%.

But it's so minimalistic that how can you be against?

No, they think that it's impossible to tax the super rich, that we have to accept that they're untouchable.

Right.

Yes.

Everybody in the population almost is in favor, except the billionaires.

So you always have in the population, you always have perhaps 10, 15% of the population who believes that the law should be more lenient for the very rich, for the powerful and harsher on the poor, on immigrants.

But it's always a tiny fraction of the population.

Most of the population wants equality before the law.
