The estate of the plan of fiscal measures to remove the head of the Romanian economy on the surface has transformed these days into a true contest of extreme ideas. Indeed, radical measures are needed to be able to save some of the disaster in which the PSD-PNL duet has, as always, this country.
However, it is difficult when at the table you have four ordinary parties to negotiate only functions and political favors, and now they have suddenly found to come out with a coherent plan for all Romanians. In public, especially test balloons with South American perfume. It seems that these people have only Milei's right-wing drum on the table and a journal of created-socialist ideas, imported directly from the Venezuela Mountains.
Between these extremes, we do not know what they are, but we can hope that towards this mix of center, balanced, the more or less enlightened minds that organize the site of the future governance are directed.
Anyway you give it, no one wants to pay higher taxes. Neither the rich nor the poor. As always with us, the dispute dispute versus progressive taxation slips into the ridiculous ridiculous. Partly because some patrons (press, sometimes) and analysts who live from the consultancy that they give even to these patrons, dream Marxism on the walls and communists who run them on the street, to steal their capital from the worked accounts.
The same characters are admiring countries such as the US, UK or Sweden, for example, where taxation is progressively structured. However, I have not heard that the governors there would sleep with the sickle and hammer under the pillow or to hold sermons from Marx. It is difficult to understand that the system of the unique quota is an exception, not a norm, and Romania is forced to hold it just because the tax authorities are not in structural state. And, yes, because some of us should decide more than before in the state, and no one has assumed that so far.
What is more offensive of all these days and where I think the opposition to progressive taxation is the hypocritical idea of ”solidarity”. Solidarity with whom? With the PSD and PNL politicians, who led Romania to the economic pit? With the parties that have allocated hundreds of millions of the money from the budget, to maintain their propagandistic miseries and tears, without giving any public account for how the money is spending? With the system of political corruption of state employment, from which I live leaf in dogs, on higher salaries, a lot of piles, knowledge and relationships?
