I will remind you that Italy has a CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENT. I wish Cons would follow their example. I wish our LIBERAL government would have half the brains to do this. We need to do this with our banks, grocery chains, airlines and oil companies.
IMO the term ‘conservative’ is somewhat fluid when the topic is other countries. For instance, Canadian/American conservatives/republicans (respectively) wouldn’t even think of implementing a tax like that because in many ways they are the bankers.
It’s not so much a conservative government. It’s a populist government and as such they might do things that are popular with people.

Credit where credit is due – nice job Italy. I hope other countries follow suit (but most of them are owned by bankers, so).
How do we get this to be a talking point here in Canada? I don’t have the numbers but I’m sure banks here are doing the same thing
The type of people who would make these changes are not the ones currently interested in running for election. Some one new would need to run but I’m not sure how you’d trust one person’s empty promise over anothers.
Our gov is still trying to be okay with girls dating girls and people fixing their gender expression. One of our parties gleefully supported dissent against a not-them government no matter how many Canadians were permanently injured or killed from their irresponsible grandstanding.
We need to solve these issues. Only then can we work on the rest.
Now do it in Australia
Oh, so next year the banks will invest their profit or try to hide it in any way possible, to not lose 40%
Good? That’s sorta the point isn’t it. If they invest it back into their business it’s no longer profit.
