Sieben Jahre lang hat er Hanno Berger verteidigt – den Mann, der zur Symbolfigur des größten Steuerskandals der deutschen Geschichte wurde. Jetzt äußert sich Wolfgang Kubicki zu genau den Gesetzen, die solche Fälle künftig härter bestrafen sollen. Bekannt ist er vor allem als FDP-Politiker und Bundestagsvizepräsident – weniger bekannt ist, dass er Diplom-Volkswirt und Rechtsanwalt mit Spezialgebiet Steuerrecht und Steuerstrafrecht ist und als Strafverteidiger in komplexen Wirtschafts- und Steuerstrafverfahren tätig war. In dieser Folge nutzen wir genau diese doppelte Perspektive für ein Gespräch, das tief in die aktuelle Steuerpolitik einsteigt. Zur Einkommensteuer fragen wir Kubicki nach seiner Einschätzung zur geplanten „Reform" von Finanzminister Lars Klingbeil: Der neue Superreichensteuersatz von 47 Prozent trifft künftig auch Unternehmen, während Steuertarif und Grundfreibetrag nur geringfügig angepasst werden und die kalte Progression unausgeglichen bleibt. Gleichzeitig steigen die Sozialversicherungsbeiträge weiter – mit der von der FDP selbst forcierten kapitalgedeckten Rente kommt ein zusätzlicher Beitrag von je einem Prozentpunkt für Arbeitgeber und Arbeitnehmer hinzu. Wir fragen ihn, ob er der ab 2028 geplanten Körperschaftsteuersenkung traut, ob das Gesetz überhaupt in dieser Form bestehen bleibt, ob die Regierung bis zur Wahl 2029 hält – und ob er glaubt, dass eine echte Gewerbesteuerreform in Deutschland jemals gelingen kann. Auch die Erhöhung der Umsatzsteuer als Alternative zur Einkommensteuerreform bringen wir ins Gespräch. Besonders spannend wird es bei der Erbschaftsteuer: Am 13. Oktober 2026 entscheidet das Bundesverfassungsgericht über die Verfassungsmäßigkeit der aktuellen Unternehmensbefreiung. Wir fragen Kubicki, wie er eine Erbschaftsteuer ausgestalten würde, sollte Karlsruhe die bestehende Regelung kippen. Danach wird es grundsätzlich: Welche Ausgaben würde er als Finanzminister streichen, und wie sieht seine Vision für ein leistungsfähiges und gleichzeitig finanzierbares Steuersystem aus? Zum Abschluss nehmen wir den Aktionsplan gegen Steuer- und Finanzkriminalität mit ihm auseinander – von der geplanten Abschaffung der Selbstanzeige über die Wiedereinführung des Verbrechenstatbestands für Steuerhinterziehung bis zur Pflicht zur elektronischen Kasse ab 100.000 Euro Umsatz. Als jemand, der Cum-Ex aus erster Reihe kennt, hat Kubicki eine klare Meinung dazu, warum das Steuerstrafrecht verschärft wird, während bei Cum-Cum bis heute kaum Ermittlungserfolge vorliegen.

On today's episode of Ask Zac, we are diving deep into the life, career, and brilliant innovations of one of the most important former Fender employees and guitar builders in history: Phil Kubicki.While many modern bass players know him for his radical, headless Factor Bass from the 1985 era, Kubicki's impact on the guitar world started decades earlier. We track his journey from building classical guitars at age 15 to walking into the Fender factory in January 1964, where he was hand-picked to help launch their new acoustic division.From there, Phil moved into Fender's R&D department, where he had his hands on some of the company's most iconic historic releases, including the Telecaster Thinline, the Starcaster, the three-bolt neck micro-tilt system, and Fender's high-end archtops like the LTD and Montego. Most famously, Phil is the man who hand-built the legendary All-Rosewood Telecaster used by George Harrison on the Apple Corps rooftop concert.We'll also look at his post-Fender years in Santa Barbara, his fascinating early partnership with Seymour Duncan (the short-lived K&D Guitars), and look at some incredibly rare Kubicki instruments and parts up close—including a very unique short-scale travel guitar and my own personal 1982 Kubicki Telecaster body with a great country music pedigree.TIMESTAMPS0:00 - Introduction to an Unsung Innovator: Phil Kubicki1:59 - From Classical Guitars to the 1964 Fender Factory Tour4:05 - The Fender R&D Era: Thinline, Starcaster, and Archtops5:27 - Hand-Building George Harrison's Iconic Rosewood Telecaster6:02 - Leaving CBS Fender & The Seymour Duncan Connection (K&D Guitars)7:32 - Gear Deep Dive: My Personal 1982 Custom Kubicki Tele Body9:06 - High-Stakes Luthiery: Routing Albert Lee's B-Bender10:33 - The Rare Kubicki "Vintage Guitars" Tele Prototype12:02 - Demo: The Early 80s Kubicki "Arrow" Short-Scale Travel Guitar15:07 - John Fogerty's Famous "Centerfield" Baseball Bat Guitar16:26 - The 1985 Factor Bass, Later Years, and Phil's LegacyGEAR FEATURED IN THIS VIDEO:1982 Custom Phil Kubicki Telecaster Body (Swamp Ash, Single Bound)Early 1980s Phil Kubicki "Arrow" Mini Guitar (Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder Pickup)Rare Kubicki "Vintage Guitars" Contoured Telecaster Prototypewww.truetone.comSUPPORT THE CHANNEL:Pick up an Ask Zac T-Shirt or Coffee Mug: https://ask-zac-shop.fourthwall.comJoin the Patreon Community: Patreon  https://www.patreon.com/AskZac Tip Jar: https://paypal.me/AskZac                     Venmo @AskZac#PhilKubicki #FenderHistory #AskZac #GuitarHistory #GeorgeHarrison #SeymourDuncan #CustomGuitars #VintageFender #Guitarist #Luthier #FactorBass #JohnFogertySupport the show
