How backwards looking @ecb wants to know opinions on bank notes that no one will use in the age of Revolut, apple pay, Wero ... https://t.co/kxzPsUYnZM

@DanNeidle Great idea. a tax the rich can't avoid and eliminating the tax that discourages downsizing after the best is empty

[Simon Hampton @simonh1000]

@Hans_VR @de_NVA on the contrary. a tax that the rich can't avoid. but taxes on downsizing as you get older should be significantly reduced instead

@GLBouchez mais les impôts ne cesse d'augmenter

Voortaan betalen 2 op 3 gezinnen voor de kortingsbon van dat 3de gezin.

@terzaketv @cauwelaert It looks like those that just want to live off government handouts have switched from unemployment benefit to one of the other many support systems and we have not made the step change in overall employment levels that are necessary

@Eurotunnel must be the most delay prone travel service in Europe

@Stijn_Baert dus ambtenaren krijgen meer geld, spaarders verliezen geld (en moet meer belastingen betalen)

[Simon Hampton @simonh1000]

@Stijn_Baert @PaulMagnette the current government has to move faster to make wallonia fiscally independent. it would serve all the current parties' interests, as far as I can see

[Simon Hampton @simonh1000]

@GeertNoels yes. their bias was so evident.

[Rupert Cocke @RupertCocke]

Are the legal difficulties facing Spain's Socialist Party a case of "lawfare"? 1/2

Mochten we even veel tijd besteden aan het nadenken over het creëren van meerwaarde dan over een meerwaardebelasting, dan was het begrotingstekort in België al lang weggewerkt.

[Geert Noels @GeertNoels]

België heeft de slechtste begroting in de eurozone!
- niet door een gebrek aan inkomsten
- maar door teveel uitgaven
De oplossing zit bij de uitgaven te verminderen en de concurrentie te verbeteren. Geen nieuwe belastingen.

in other words, don't try saving for old age from your wages after paying income tax and social security because we'll then tax it again https://t.co/ODhzZzUeIo

@MR_officiel @GLBouchez @RTBF jullie hebben de macht. doe iets

[Simon Hampton @simonh1000]

@Stijn_Baert and with perfect Belgian surrealism we pretend that nothing happened and give employees an automatic pay rise, while wondering why factories keep closing

one day a year the commission celebrates Europe's Diversity. all the rest of the year it's convinced that the economic conditions from countries ranging from Luxembourg to Hungary are virtually identical
