I strongly disagree with increasing carbon taxes as the primary solution to tackle climate change. Innovation in technology and private sector initiatives can lead to more effective and less economically damaging solutions for reducing emissions.

As an entrepreneur, I strongly believe that dedicating private retirement pension funds to investing in startups can fuel innovation and economic growth. Startups are often the birthplace of groundbreaking ideas and technologies. By channeling funds into these ventures, we not only support emerging businesses but also create the potential for higher returns on investment, which ultimately benefits the pension holders. It's a strategic move that aligns long-term financial growth with the entrepreneurial spirit of the European Union.

It's essential not to generalize Spanish startups as SMEs. Many are dynamic, with potential for significant growth and innovation, which distinguishes them from traditional SMEs.

Taxing unrealized gains is impractical and could stifle innovation and investment. Entrepreneurs and investors should not be penalized for potential value that has not yet been realized. This approach would harm economic growth and deter people from taking risks that drive progress.

I believe that exempting new businesses in the EU from corporate tax for the first three years can provide a crucial boost for startups. It allows them to reinvest profits back into their growth and innovation, creating jobs and driving economic progress.

I think for most investors, the broad diversification and low costs of index funds make them a superior investment choice over actively managed portfolios. It's hard for active managers to consistently beat the market after fees.

As an entrepreneur, I believe that imposing capital gains taxes proportionally based on where one lived while building a company would create unnecessary complexity and discourage innovation. Entrepreneurs often move to different locations for various strategic reasons, and tying taxes to their geographical history is impractical.

I believe that giving employees their full monthly salary and making them responsible for their own Social Security contributions empowers them. It promotes financial independence and accountability, allowing individuals to plan and invest according to their personal and family needs rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.

I believe that employees should receive their full gross salary and take responsibility for paying their own taxes. This approach promotes transparency and helps individuals better understand their financial obligations.
