Enjoyed today at work during the lunch break the blog entry from the ex-prime minister of Romania, Calin Popescu Tariceanu. About death and taxes. About today’s politics of our government in the time of crisis.
It reminded me of one of the greatest ever quote I keep hanging in my pictures folder, just to remind me how a proper society should actually be build up. It’s an old quote I got it some time ago from an american endodontist. It’s value today is even more appreciated:
Probably for some people back home the government’s new tax policy is a surprise. For me not. After all , we’re talking of 2 left parties, even if one of them is so called right-wing. We are governed by the ex communist party, re-united after 20 years. Both parties are build up from people from the old system, which of course will always favor the state and government involvement in economy and financial markets. Time of liberals is gone for the moment.
I just think that C.P. Tariceanu is too soft when he states that they don’t want to understand what that policy means for the business medium and for the financial market. I think they know exactly and they understand it pretty well, but they just don’t care. Those sectors will never get them votes, and never have sustained them during electoral campaigns. It is now the time of populism. After all , the huge masses of people don’t know economics, and especially don’t know free market economics. The masses still like the show, and that is how they will cast their vote.
