hmmm...let's see. overloaded on pensions focused on green energy built several bullet trains throughout the country ....sounds like california.
Well, I'm sure it's much cheaper, too, because of all of the unemployment. OTOH, maybe that's taxed, too, at 21%
spanish people are crazy. they just fuck around all day. they take an hour in the nap at 3pm and just lie on the street then drink and party all night long!
It's not that shocking. France's has been 19% for a while, and just jumped to 21%. EU mandates at LEAST 15%. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_added_tax
Hard to believe anyone, anywhere, anytime, for any reason, is stupid enough to vote for a sales tax of any kind. Why not just shoot yourself and get it over with?
So you rather pay tax on the money you make (i.e Oregon)or the money you spend? Remember rich people spend more and you can't have a tax loop hole for sales tax? Liberal short sight of not to get sales tax. Millions use our roads,police beaches, parks and facilities without paying a dime to our state. 21% is nothing compare to Austria where VAT is 32%. (everything except food)
Seriously, everyone with concerns about the economy should watch the Academy Award Winning Documentary "Inside Job." It's about the crisis and bailout of 2008. Basically, Reagan/Bush really f-ed things up, Clinton and Bush continued it, and Obama's chief advisors are same SOBs who screwed not just the USA, but the world. The biggest problem isn't about bullet trains, green energy, pensions, or any such liberal vs. conservative issue. Check out Inside Job from your local library. No, really, do it.
