Oh, we need to boost competitiveness, do we?
How about we stop the rich from investing in non-productive asset classes like real estate, which seems to be the reason every economist says we're stuck in a quagmire; because capital is being sucked up by real estate and financialization instead of investment into, well, anything else?
We could do that by...taxing the fuck out of capital gains?
No. Capital must go towards rent seeking. It's only logical to invest in things that make money for free.
This is labour's fault. If only we'd work harder and demand less pay (while not ever reducing spending), the economy would be great!
