Yes...I do remember the tragedy  even today after 25 years...That was simply horrible.......

 

And also a gesture of enormous generosity by the  parents who decided to give son's organs to five very ill Italians...A great lesson, despite the terrible event......

Yep...That's the mentality for independent workers...Instead all dependant workers ( offices, banks, employees in general etc) are directly taxed at the source so that they can't escape tax-paying...Result....The vast majority of taxes in this country is paid by dependant workers...W3e had cases where some jewellers declared less than a plant worker in a  year...This has to stop. Period...Hit them where it hurts most....Their money and assets....

 

Italy has among the highest taxation in Europe....For entrepreneurs and also for workers... The cost of labor in this Country is the highest in Europe....This should change for the befit of entrepreneurs and workers

Even if they would be able to get 7B of tax evasion ( which is questionable  imo) that would be good but a super-tiny percentage of the 109B EUR which is the Italian total evasion......I think we're 1st in that or maybe 2nd after Greece.......

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Italy sells arms to Turkey while condemning Syria offensive

I was unaware of that...So it is highly hypocritical of my Country to state they're against Turkey now and that they're ideally close to Kurds when in actuality we do sell arms to Turkey.( note: Turkey has the 2nd biggest army in Europe and the 6th strongest worlwide...)....Shameless in the least

I don't believe it as I know nothing seriously works for stopping tax-evasion in this Country...I heard promises  and ( false) political commitments on that since I was a boy.....Politicians start promising stuff on that issue before  the elections  and then they become super-lax  as they know it's something very delicate and they don't want to lose popularity......

 

That way  we'll never solve the problem...We currently have in this Country 109B Euros of tax-evasion.....
