My country in a wool corner

It was as if before the elections they said there would be no taxes. How then to explain what is happening now? After the election, we want taxes.

They don’t even really align us with the EU, they just implement what suits them.

For example, the EU has introduced a fixed fee of 3 euros per parcel, while we have 20% VAT plus customs duties, as if we were taken for fools.

Another example is that of import duties on cars. Originally it was about 20% of the value of the car, but no, in order to get more money out of people, they left the system based on engine capacity, completely outdated and unfair.

There is also the argument of protecting the local producer or seller. Which local manufacturer? The one who orders goods in bulk from Alibaba and sells them here five times more expensive? We produce so many things locally that you can’t even count them.

In the end, the simple man is the one hit. It is enough that he can no longer buy something at an affordable price, to enjoy a small thing, because the state prefers populism and excessive taxation instead of a real alignment with the EU.

We “align” with the European Union only in words, and only where the measures are convenient for the state, not for the citizens.
