The VAT 0.4 per cent for the IV are not enough. I'm not a fan of high taxes, but a friend of tax smoothing. The tax burden in Switzerland is still not huge (even if the upward trend, unfortunately, is). On the other hand there are the IV and the Seniors, they shall perform their duties and must be financed somehow. The true IV takes today functions of a social safety net, which was still perceived ten or fifteen years ago by private companies, which are also little "productive" people employed. This model - a more humane capitalism - would be much more efficient and I would prefer in principle today. In the current situation but there is no alternative to a financial recovery - also on the revenue side.
Temporary tax increases are pure nonsense. Either you increase the taxes or you do not increases it. The purpose of the IV, however, may well be temporary, seven or ten years, then they will adapt to new circumstances: the purpose of the financing of the AHV. The demographic development will make this inevitable, because on the one hand, the retirement age will not be increased arbitrarily and the other can not the rather poor performance of the AVS to be shortened. This is all the more so as the system of fully funded pension (not just the cash benefit plans) has recently come to its limits. The principle of two (or three) columns is a very excellent matter and should not be changed.
