Two tools are needed: (a) inheritance tax (which worked well in the UK circa 1940-1980) and (b) wealth tax (over a threshold excluding a first home and a regular person's pension).
What we've got now: the bottom 50% bear 90% of the tax burden.

Garante Privacy: Attenzione su Cittadinanza e Censimento Italiani all'Estero
Il Presidente del #GarantePrivacy Pasquale Stanzione, ha commentato il progetto di legge per riorganizzare i servizi per i cittadini e le imprese italiane all'estero.
Riguardo allo "ius sanguinis" ha accolto con favore l'intento di garantire documentazioni affidabili, ma ha sollevato preoccupazioni sull'uso di comunicazioni elettroniche non certificate per le notifiche, chiedendo almeno la conferma di ricezione per tutelare il richiedente.
Quanto al censimento permanente degli italiani residenti all'estero, il Garante ha suggerito che il processo faccia esplicito riferimento al Programma Statistico Nazionale

Trump says 25% tariffs coming for Japan and South Korea as trade war escalates again
President Donald Trump sent out letters to nations that haven't entered into trade agreements with the U.S., informing them of their new tariff rates., USA TODAY (USA TODAY)
@Nimbius666
Except Canada. We folded like a wet noodle. We expect to have a deal signed soon, and then restructured soon thereafter at the whim of Trump. Also expect decreased social safety nets, subsidies for oil and gas, and reduced taxes on the rich. As if we have a business man in charge of the country who thinks that taking people off government support is like retrenching employees. The fired ones disappear and profits go up.
It’s stunning to think that Mark Carney had a front row seat for the austerity shit show put on by the UK and decided that that sounds like a fabulous idea.
