I read an article in the Irish Independent this morning about farmers in The Netherlands who were making a killing by scamming the VAT tax and selling strawberries on the black market. They got busted because they were registering all of their luxury cars in Luxembourg, which is a well-known tax dodge that alerted the authorities. When one of these previously-humble farmers went to register his new private jet, they were rolled up.
Big government just makes bigger opportunities for organized crime, by either conventional racketeers or the political type.
Sounds like Dutch farmers were just avoiding a BS VAT tax that the Dem commies want for America. You sound like a Dem supporting VAT taxes.
