They just don't "get it", do they?

[Blood of Tyrants]

They DO get it. They know that in order to establish the NWO they must first get the people used to the idea of world taxes.

Euro scum!

The closing of the European tax loophole
I love how you go around one of their money making scams and they call it a loophole.

Sweden and Denmark charge 25 percent value-added tax, compared to 15 percent in Luxembourg.
And I thought 8% was high. 25 percent ... for what?

The tax ``will remove a major competitive handicap,''

Ahahahahaha... these morons. The tax itself is the major competitive handicap. They prefer to risk a trade war than to remove the obstacles that they themselves put in place.

How do they plan to collect this tax? There's no way they could keep track of such transactions unless American companies are willing to collect the tax for them, or to give them the information they need to collect it themselves. Obviously those companies who agree to such conditions will suffer a major handicap competing against companies that refuse.

This plan would at least require cooperation and enforcement by our various government agencies. And it would run into some of the same lobbies that have resisted taxation of the internet here.

Whew, this takes the cake. I can't WAIT for the EU's economy to collapse into rubble just like their role model, the CCCP (USSR). These morons WONDER why America revolted against them?!

Idjuts.

I had to go over to the Bloomberg website myself...it IS there, under Politics. Here are the last few sentences:

A trade group in the U.S. representing Microsoft Corp. and AOL Time Warner Inc. said the main issue is how the EU seeks to enforce the order.

``There's never been a question about whether these products could be taxed,'' said Mark Nebergall, president of the Software Finance and Tax Executive Council, which represents Microsoft. ``The question is how they enforce it.''

I don't think they realize that it is impossible to implement this taxation, perhaps they were just trying to look less than intelligent.
