INDIRECT TAXES LEAD EUROPE TO THE CLIFF
Many European governments underestimate the
intelligence of the citizens. Politicians think they
can get away with raising indirect taxes, that somehow
citizens are so stupid to notice hidden taxes. Well,
they were surprised when the Europeans discovered
their dirty game. Europeans revolt and move to the
underground economy bypassing taxation alltogether!
There are myriad indirect taxes; sales taxes, social
security tax, tariffs, inheritance tax, transfer tax,
property tax, purchase tax, occupancy tax, and so it
goes. The direct corporate taxes are indirect taxes
for the consumers, because the prices of products go
higher.
The worst offender is the government of Greece. All
parties of the Greek parliament are socialist and very
corrupt. There are 300 minotaurs in the Greek
parliament that suck the blood of Greeks, with huge
indirect taxes, astronomical public debt, and
political corruption beyond imagination. There is a
48% social security tax, 19% sales tax, taxes on every
application, ridiculous objective criteria taxes on
business that you were supposed to accomplish but you
did not, and taxes on everything under heaven.
The socialist government of Costas Karamanlis has been
in power for a year and is expected not to last for
another year. Karamanlis pretends in Brussels that
his party Nea Demokratia is a conservative party, but
in reality it is more socialistic then the main
socialist party Pasok. The huge indirect taxes and
the astronomical national debt lead Greece to the
cliff in a snowball fashion. All foreign investors
have disappeared, and most Greeks have moved to the
underground economy. Greece is now the #1 underground
economy in the whole world. Moreover, Greek
politicians are the most corrupt politicians in the
whole world.
The source of all corruption in Greece is the Greek
constitution, which instead of protecting the citizens
from government abuse, it enslaves the citizens to the
government. The European Union should declare the
Greek constitution null and void, because it violates
basic human principles of the European Union.
