All what you want. But Italy has a tax to gdp ratio close to 50%. Germany has it probably higher than 40%.

You want to increase taxes? Fine. Then say you want to nationalize the economy, because that is the end result.

I am sorry, but that does not logically follow. If you think it does, then at least you have to explain why you think this is the case. There certainly have been times with higher tax ratios without a nationalized economy.
