Bollocks to You Schuessel

Another great European has spoken:

Austrian Chancellor Wolfgang Schuessel has called for a form of European Union tax to help end regular disagreements over the Union's budget.

Write this down 200 times you imbecile: Disagreements over the Union's budget are good, they protect taxpayers from venal politicians. His intellectually advanced idea?

"It's absurd that today short-term financial transactions are completely exempted from tax. It's absurd that there are tax gaps - that international aviation is part of a tax gap," he said.

Short term financial transactions are the lubricant of the global economy. Profits made on them are taxed just like any other. Taxing the transaction is a disgusting statist reflex, that would benefit no one, except the undeserving parasites that spend the cash Whats really absurd is that we have got to the point where politicians have the front to declare that a lack of tax is absurd. Its our money you plonker.
