Gergely Karácsony, who is (also) unfit for mayor, has published his economic policy program, which he admits is "green and fair". And let's add: it's also short, meaning the length of the text. A total of 9,951 characters, which is a joke, the justification for amending a tax law is longer than that in the Magyar Közlöny.

It is certain that it can hardly be called an in-depth analysis, actually a description of some ideas, but it cannot be called a coherent economic idea in any way.

A prime minister who wants to govern according to this would be in big trouble. Another embarrassing shortcoming of the "program" is that there are no numbers in it. Among other things, he mentions that he would abolish the flat rate tax and restore the multi-band personal income tax system. It is described in the mayor's program that this would apply to more than one million monthly earners. Why draw the line here? We do not get an answer as to what kind of socio-political purpose this has. Who knows, maybe because it sounds so good that one million forints - but they no longer tell the electorate what tax rate they would tax those who, in their opinion, can be classified as rich.

The document doesn't even say what the money collected would be spent on. There is also an invention called a green tax. As he puts it: "We impose green taxes and green levies on polluting production and consumption that hinder environmental and natural sustainability." This is also just a throwaway sentence; it is not known what and which harmful products it would apply to. Gergely Karácsony does not say what he would levy the green tax for and for what purpose, and he does not even tell us how much it would be, that is, how big it would be. So there will be a green tax and that's it.

Previously, the LMP had ideas such as a carbon tax, which would be imposed on carbon-containing energy carriers. In Hungarian, for fuel, but this is not specifically mentioned now.

The rest of the program is liberal-leftist-communist gibberish. It contains claims that 10 percent of Hungarian bank deposits are owned by 3,500 families. They want to tax them because it's unfair, but we don't know why. It is also not clear how they know this data for the 3,500 families. The point is that the rich pay! And this is nothing but the well-known ancient Komcsi password. And the obsession with Christmas also appears, the somewhat boring idea of ​​the Tiborcz tax.

Although the method and extent of this are also not disclosed, is this some kind of wealth tax concept? What would it apply to, what would be included in the wealth tax fund? I don't really know. Bank deposit, real estate, company property, or a luxury product like a yacht or jewelry? It turns out that a Tiborcz tax would be imposed on assets over 500 million. It doesn't matter if someone inherited it, or earned it with their business, or just won the lottery. He is the enemy, so make him pay. Right, this is just a communist topic.
