Take two chickens: one belongs to a farm, the other a family home. Eggs produced by the first chicken will go to market, where they will be sold for an average of 1 leu, organic eggs even more. They will contribute to the budget via VAT, profit and income tax, salary tax and social security contributions. And this is how you explain liberalism.

This reasoning is used in lots of contexts. “Workforce participation,” for example. Several of my friends and I take care of our own children: not “working” and adding nothing to GDP. If each of us paid the next one over to take care of our children, we’d all be in the “workforce” and all generating taxable income.

it is currently facing a budgetary crisis caused by big increases in public spending, primarily on pensions and higher salaries for state workers. Have they been hiring consultants from California ?

He’s supposed to serve even the “useless people” - the ones with chicken coops in their back yards- and not just those who provide the state with revenue by their activities.
Guy seems to have forgotten that government is supposed to serve the people, not the other way around. The purpose of government is not to consume revenue- though all governments quickly forget they are servants of the people and try to become the reason for their own existence, serving themselves only. This is why politicians need to be reminded from time to time of their true status.

His comments weren't too abstract. They were a spot on glimpse of just how the left thinks. It is not just a coincidence that Stalin and Mao targeted millions of farmers for liquidation.
Funny things is, they do not even have the economics right. In May, I purchased roughly $20 worth of tomato plants, plus at least that much more in buying potting soil and containers. Despite my care, the season ended early because it was a bad year for leaf blight and too much of our soil is of poor quality and not well-drained.
Since tomatoes from Virginia and points south sell at the supermarket here at a steep discount during harvest season, I estimate my $40 plus investment produced maybe $10 in tomatoes, not counting my time and care. So the libtards should give me a subsidy or a tax refund. Do you think they will?

lol - and you can say the same for anything you do for yourself. Enjoy knitting? Nope, not allowed, you should have to buy all your clothes. Enjoy growing vegetables? Nope, you should have to buy them all. Etc...
So how you end up focusing on eggs is laughable. Maybe they should concentrate on the corruption, I hear it is out of control in Romania. I’m sure there’s a lot of waste.

Thanks to George Bush’s Gonzales v Raich USSC victory, marijuana that you grow in your backyard for your own consumption means you don’t go out and buy it, the loss of your business affecting interstate commerce. That exposes you to the Commerce Clause, hence, federal regulation.

Well, that’s a lot lot LOT much better explanation/excuse for failing to pass a balanced budget——— than any American politician’s ever come up with. It’s all the chickens’ fault! (Even HilLIARy hasn’t managed to blame the chickens yet.....)
