Summary

Original text of the question(s):<br /> <br /> Does the Federal Government share my view that a re-imposition of the wealth tax must be avoided for constitutional and bureaucratic reasons as well as for considerations of the competitiveness of Germany as a business location, and what is the Federal Government's attitude towards recent demands (cf. www.faz.net/aktuell/wirtschaft/spd-kuendigt-eckspitzen-fuer-vermoegensbesteuer-an-16305344.html), according to which the tax rate in Germany would be further increased through an additional or redesigned wealth taxation (please state explicitly why the wealth tax has no longer been levied since 1997 and how high the administrative costs known to the federal government have been saved by suspending the wealth tax were)?
