Titled ‘Taxing Times,’ the report paints a dire picture for advanced economies with high debts that fail to aggressively ‘mobilize domestic revenue.’ It goes on to build a case for drastic measures and recommends a series of escalating income and consumption tax increases culminating in the direct confiscation of assets.
