Anthony Resines has long been outspoken about the controversial property tax, and in the final episode of a popular program, a guest visited El Objetivo to weigh in on national and international current events in front of laSexta’s audience. During the interview, the well-known translator of Los Serrano didn’t hold back his opinions on a range of hot topics and ongoing social debates. The discussion centered around a new rate subsidized by the state that wealthy individuals are expected to pay.

When asked about this tax, which also involves collaboration with El Hormiguero, his stance was direct: Wealth tax is unfair. He reiterated his position before outlining the reasoning behind his view. He explained the rationale at length to preempt criticism. The core issue, he argued, is double taxation. A person earns money, pays taxes on it, and then is asked to contribute again through property or wealth taxes tied to assets like a home. He suggested this mechanism penalizes earnings rather than rewarding productive capital.

Resines sought to present his argument in a way that would minimize confusion among laSexta viewers. He made clear that his critique is not aimed at new homeowners acting within a typical financial range, nor at large companies wielding substantial leverage. His point was to challenge the assumption that every owned asset should be taxed simply on its existence, rather than considering income, liquidity, and broader wealth distribution. The conversation also touched on how tax policy should address equity, incentives, and the practical realities faced by middle-class families and small businesses.
