When 63% vanishes into an obsolete, multi-layered machine of local, regional, and federal bureaucracy, arguing over the "Brussels" share is just a shell game. It's theft.
If the European government actually collected 63% of everyone’s income, Europe would already be the dominant superpower on Earth.
The funny part is that people blame “Brussels” for taxes mostly collected and spent by national governments.
Europe’s problem is almost the opposite:
too much taxation at national level, too little strategic capacity at continental level.

@FranckenTheo Ik wil mijn belastingen en taxaties over heel de lijn zien dalen. De percent en stijgen elk jaar meer dan de lonen. Snoei eerst bij jezelf en dan is er meer dan genoeg geld over om defensie te financieren zoals het hoort.
@GrimmGreen Damn, too late. I'd love to go back to my DIY mod with RDTA and DIY liquid, which they currently made pretty much impossible to acquire anymore.
@vrtnws Omdat wij als idioten blijven werken op plat getaxeerd to worden om de overheid rijk te maken met het versluizen van mijn centen naar hun investeringen in Ukraine

@Chillcatser@smokevapeutah@Europarl_EN As one that did both, I beg to differ. I actually enjoyed the flavor of my vape. It took me quite some experimenting getting the right flavor profile, but it worked for me.
@coe Since when do you protect the rule of law?
Rules for me but not for thee. Because the rule of law is only ever in favor of the non-law abiding citizens.
