Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]

Would you support the introduction of a national inheritance tax on all inheritances over one million Swiss francs? [BePart question]

Wage equality between women and men
Are you in favor of stricter controls on equal pay for women and men?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This would result in senseless economic disadvantages. Those who consume a lot of electricity already pay a lot today. A tightening of this situation would not lead to any significant progress.
Das ergebe unsinnige wirtschaftliche Nachteile. Wie viel Strom verbraucht zahlt auch heute schon viel. Eine Verschärfung dieser Lage würde zu keinem nennenswerten Fortschritte führen

At the same time, restrictions must be placed on the private sector to operate any number of Wifi networks. These represent a larger source of electromagnetic radiation. 5G can partially replace Wifi

The meaning and purpose of neutrality is changing. Originally, Switzerland was committed to neutrality as a buffer in Europe. This buffer function is no longer necessary. The peoples right so be the yardstick for positioning in conflicts
Der Sinn und Zweck der Neutralität ändert sich. Ursprünglich wurde die Schweiz als Puffer in Europa zur Neutralität verpflichtet. Diese Pufferfunktion ist nicht mehr nötig. Das Völker recht so Massstab für die Positionierung in Konflikten sein

There it is solely about the welfare of the child. In the first three years the mother and the child take care, in the people in the three years the father. If it turns out that one hundred percent nursery children are so well embedded, we can dispense with the need for parental childcare.
Da geht es einzig um das Wohl des Kindes. In den ersten drei Jahren kümmert sich die Mutter und das Kind, in den Volk in den drei Jahren der Vater. Wenn es sich herausstellt, dass Hundertprozentige Krippenkinder so gut eingebettet sind, können wir auf die Notwendigkeit der elterlichen Kinderbetreuung verzichten.
