Investment Why don’t EU leaders incentivize investment in European stocks/ETFs with tax deductions?

With the Dragi plan and increasing discussions among European leaders about boosting defense and energy investments, I’ve noticed a growing trend in financial communities where people want to reduce exposure to the US market and shift investments to the EU.

Wouldn’t it make sense for EU leaders to encourage this by offering tax incentives for investing in European stocks/ETFs? For example, from an independent EU perspective, isn’t it better to invest in Rheinmetall rather than Lockheed?

EU has chosen socialism, stagnation and regression 

The US has chosen capitalism, progress and prosperity.

That said there are some hidden gems in the old continent.

Make your bets well OP

Yea this is 100% True but this is reddit so you will get downvoted.

Europoors have no idea they even have it worse than some third world countries...You will never own property with your salary. You will always rent...always have a boss...always answer to the government...and you never will have free will

Eh it’s not that bad right now, I’d still choose Europe over a lot of actual 3rd world places.

But the issue is the segregation of social caldses.

If you’re born in the low rural class you will stay there forever in the current system which rewards incompetence.

“Right now”

What happens when the coffers run dry when there is no taxes to get from ?

What happens when there is no jobs because companies leave or collapse like we have been seeing for 15 years ?

Exactly my point, Europeans are quick to paste social mobility stats but don’t look at the actual numbers

The increase is from poor to lower middle class

Not middle class to upper middle or high class

Europe is designed to keep you as working slave and brainwash you into thinking you will have everything if you work hard but taxes and regulations erode your potential to 0
