Adoptar una prestación universal por crianza no «cuesta mucho dinero». Lo que nos cuesta mucho dinero es una élite económica haciendo ingeniería fiscal para no pagar lo que le toca.

España perdió más de 30.000 millones en impuestos entre 2016 y 2021 por la ingeniería fiscal de las multinacionales
La Tax Justice Network calcula que las grandes empresas estadounidenses dejaron de pagar a Hacienda 3.200 millones en ese periodo al desviar beneficios a otras jurisdicciones

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?
