Govt decree allows rich to evade taxes says Bersani-update

(ANSA) - Rome, January 7 - Former premier and Democratic Party (PD) chief Pier Luigi Bersani said Wednesday that a controversial government tax-fraud decree basically allows the wealthiest to cheat the tax man the most. "(The norm) is proportional," said Bersani, a staunch critic of Premier Matteo Renzi. "The richer you are, the more you can evade". The same proportionality however is lacking from the government's Jobs Act labor reform law, Bersani said. "Especially on dismissals for disciplinary reasons," he said.
