YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe number of billionaires is rising rapidly worldwide, including in Germany. Despite an inheritance tax, wealth continues to grow untaxed for the ultra-wealthy. How is that possible?

While the Greens, SPD and BSW propose reforms to the inheritance tax aimed at generating an additional €3 billion annually, other parties advocate for reductions. The AfD's proposal could even slash annual inheritance tax revenue in Germany by as much as €10 billion. These policies could widen the gap between the rich and the poor.
