Well here in Spain and in Argentina where I have communication all the time, the issue of taxes is atrocious. More and more of them and higher and higher, especially for the self-employed, which means that many businesses have to close down.
Here we talk about crisis, if I compare it with Argentina it is not so serious, but in general the taxes are strangling those who have businesses.
In Argentina with the previous government it is a disaster and the current government is doing what it can to reactivate the economy.
The more taxes the more recession.... very hard topic!
Maybe we need an apocalyptic event and the total breakdown of society...that'll sort things out right? No government, the strong survive, the weak do not...like in the good old days. How do you reckon that would go?
I think it could be a solution, and I don't think that time is far away, the issue is whether it will be slow and painful for many or abrupt.
The strong and the awakened survive... I think it is so, a big collapse will come and very soon, maybe in less than a year. You are right to have reservations.
