Austria proposes EU tax
Source: BBC News
As promised, the Austrian President, in his capacity as EU President, has introduced a proposal for an EU tax.
He says that he knows that giving the EU the power to directly tax people won't be popular but it is, apparently, necessary. He very kindly explains why it is necessary - to stop the arguments and bad feeling about the EU budget
I liked this quote:
It's absurd that today short-term financial transactions are completely
exempted from tax.
Yes, how absurd that something should be exempt from tax. How can society possibly continue to function unless every minute aspect of our lives is taxed?
Short-term financial transactions are, of course, one of the things he proposes the EU tax.
