Cataluña y Asturias, las dos regiones con más impuestos personales del mundo: no comment!

webmaster — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 10:51:29 +0000

La reactivación de Patrimonio se suma al aumento del IRPF, ya que ambos impuestos crean un efecto conjunto que, en el caso de Cataluña y Asturias, puede superar el 60%. Los expertos alertan de que estas regiones son susceptibles de sufrir deslocalizaciones y fugas de capitales.

Raising tax is not the solution, it's just a lazy and incompetent way to short term politics.

Most countries are not doing their homework and just raise tax to be able to pay their incompetent leaders at the end of the month. I haven't seen any policies that are really focused on motivating economic growth. By increasing tax, the only motivation for potential business people, is to retrench and wait until there are better economic prospects.

And that is before the Laffer curve sets in!

New president. New ideas? Will the action start?

Yesterday the new "elected" president of Spain spoke about his plans to implement drastic cuts in Spain's budget. More speaking! We shall see if any action follows. In fact, even if there is no action, the end of credit is nigh. They do not have an option. There is no money. For instance, Catalonia might not be able to pay all it's civil servants in December. And in January? Don't ask. Things work on a day to day basis in Spain. There might be a miracle! but don't hold your breath.

Spain: too little too late.

Spanish politicians now agree that there seems to be a problem. More and more scandals are popping up left, right and center. They see that their cushy lifestyle and pensions might be affected, or that whatever they do might be a bit too conspicuous compared to the hard working classes.Maybe not, they do not mix if they can avoid it. It's all somebody elses fault though. Mañana will be another day....

They still do not understand that income (credit is not income) is less than expenses.

Spanish politicians waste vital time bickering

Spanish politicians waste important time bickering. It seems they are not up to the circumstances and find any excuse to forget the potentially lethal economic situation. Apparently the use of the language used at school is now of vital importance. Another sad example of total ineptitude that will only worsen the dire economic outcome in years to come.

Spain risks riots and revolt if VAT and other taxes are increased.

Politicians in Spain

seem to be completely out of touch with everyday life in Spain. With the highest unemployment rates in Europe, a huge amount of workers on the minimum wage, an ever increasing closure of companies, Spanish people are every time more struggling to earn a living. If these people are taxed even more, the feeling of hopelessness might turn to rage.

Will the Catalan Government start getting rid of civil servants? They still rely on the Spanish civil servants and the whims of Madrid. One day things might change, maybe mañana. Don't hold your breath though.

Spain's civil servants (or some of them) see that maybe there s a crisis after all.

This month Oriol Pujol stated that the economy is not in good health, and that civil servant's salaries might not be able to be met sometime in the near future.

This was the case in many small to medium businesses a year ago, but politicians were above such petty affairs, it seemed. Now that the economic situation is starting to become a threat nearer to home, politicians (mainly civil servants) start to worry. Worry, not much else though. Words, and more words, and mañana is another day. Let's wait and see what happens shall we?. In the meantime, there is a big social change in Egypt.
