@mariamlt02 Roman Catholicism is a evolution from roman paganism, when JC appeared it was in a Roman province.
Islam is arabian and for arabs, it spread via conquest and oppression, its nothing to do with Europe.
@BladeoftheS He will not inherit £6m, he will inherit a farm that the state says is valued £6m. Also, he helped develop that farm. 600k is 10%, which he has to pay to the state on top of other tax. He also need to feed his family during this year, may have bad crop year, etc.
So I tried to build a tech company from Norway and here’s what happened:
1. Two years of building without almost any money/funding, better part of a year without salary
2. Raise VC and become one of Norway’s first unicorns
3. Face unrealized gains wealth tax bill of many x my annual net salary. ofc the company is loss making and all the investors have preference shares so I can’t take out any money.
4. Call out publicly that this does not make sense. Independent of level, taxation needs to happen when you actually make money.
5. I move to Switzerland because no politician cares/listens.
6. I still don’t get any tangible and sensible answers to my criticism of unrealized gains tax, BUT I do get put up on the “wall of shame” at the socialist parties offices…
I’m Norwegian and I love Norway but the socialist politicians are taking the country down a dark path. It’s a real life Atlas Shrugged.
@JackBMontgomery@visegrad24 disagree, at least the state is protecting the home from barbarians from out of borders so it makes sensse to pay a protection.
