Any first year student of Economics knows that indirect taxes are fundamentally unfair. The rich pay the same tax that the poor, or the middling for a loaf of bread, a gallon of gas or a pack of snuff. Granted, the rich spend more and thus pay more taxes to indirect final. But it turns out he has not for more than the basics, like the rich pay.
This is a digression a bit silly, but it shows the society we have created and, yes, do not look the other way, we have created ourselves, we have been led astray by the comfort, waste and live in the best of all possible worlds. Well, we lived. Turns out
a few crooks, few in relation to the world's population, a couple are already too many, have managed to get very rich at the expense of ruining others, everybody. I do not really understand what they want to be very rich: you can only drive a Ferrari at a time can only sail on a yacht at a time can travel only by private jet at a time ... But, for the common the mortal one thing each is enough, for them there. Need to have it all for nothing, but everything just for the pleasure of owning.
said that these rich, dissatisfied with their wealth, they decided to keep the crumbs of others, how others are many crumbs and worthwhile. Once ruined, were presented to governments that they had laughed and allowed thanks to all the excesses we have or had and said, "I can sink us, as if that were true, or give us out of this paste ".
And the government began to loosen pasta like crazy for those honest citizens to maintain their frugal lifestyle.
But as the pasta is scarce and susceptible to alternative uses, otherwise who knows the first year student of Economics, which gave them the financiers took it from others. Hence the rise in indirect taxes, freeze pensions, unpaid suppliers, the hardening credit concessions, layoffs, business closures, unemployment ...
In addition, there was the high oil prices. Oil is always expensive: sometimes because producing countries decide to reduce production, another because they decide to raise prices, others because they want to earn more dough oil as demand for oil is hard-to see how you tell the Chinese that stop growing, they spend too much oil and so we are not going anywhere, "as we have prices that do not hold or a sheikh. Well, the oil sheikhs are almost free, but when they go to Marbella certainly take several drums here not to fill tanks of the Bentley.
So we find the paradox:
a) more than 4 million unemployed
b) imposed by the clouds
c) inflation above 3% (well, late 70's early 80's outclassed the 2 digit inflation)
d) pitiful wages that are just to survive. Or tell you to save or invest.
e) threats to continue working until the day we die. So it is still produced and saved his pension.
f) young people can not find jobs "from their own" and if they find they pay the same as a pawn. And even that, for migrant laborers and pay them can take black.
g) young people disillusioned with what they had sold migrate. So the country has paid a very expensive education so that afterwards the advantage of English, German, Italian, Dutch ...
h) a destroyed industrial
j) a commitment to become the Las Vegas of Europe
k) companies that have lost all scruple and with record profits decide to dismiss a fifth of the workforce and that the sovereign people pay reparations, pensions and unemployment benefits
could finish the alphabet, but I fear that if I did end up hanging from the lamp and not a matter mounting the drama.
We have a society that is unlike anything to which we sold, but we mediocrity. We just survive, as we can control the damage. Happily sell what little is left for those who have money, Arab, Indian, Chinese ...
Suddenly, Western governments will enter a guilty conscience and decide to turn against those who have endured for decades, arguing that there democratic. Hell, neither were for 30, 20, 10 years ... and well they understood them. Ya, I know this is politically incorrect, but have not had dealings with them was enough. Oh, right! Corporations did need to have dealings with them: gas, oil, coltan, gold, diamonds, copper ... Y which is a more or less murderous tyranny in the world if the benefits are optimal.
This does not fix it or god. Okay, I fix the sovereign people, but virtually impossible. Parties to use do not work: or are the direct service of the oligarchy or try to live with it without much damage. And there are no eggs and no money, because they are not going to cover those who want to destroy them-to start a movement of political decency. Nothing more than that: political decency.
