too big

too corrupt

the pendulum always swings. its just whether it does so before things get crazy or not

but no one is arguing that at its core EU is socialist,

cuz they're all capitalist in nature,

But with the social programs becoming so big, the governments taxing so high, you're effectively in a Monetary socialism

I pay 49% of paycheck in taxes

whut?

49% ?!?!?!?!?!

yes

and it was even higher 2 years ago

effffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff that

until last year it was 52% for me

But the dutch government lowered it by like 4% to 48%

yeah there u go

what about corporate taxes?

are they high as well?

very low

okay thats something

in comparisement

but theyre not hiring people

20% i believe

well theyre doing a little now

in netherlands

its more over here

hence most belgians living near the border go shop in the netherlands

minimum wage crippling their ability to hire by any chance Trit?

everything is cheaper in the netherlands

"The 2013 Dutch corporate tax rate was 20% of the taxable income up to and including €200,000, above which the rate is 25%."

same with germany

same with france

not at all

The min wage isnt the problem

the problem is that when u hire a waiter for example

The person itself sees about 11€ of that

Today isn’t my day

but the one hiring has to pay about 30€ an hour

THAT is the problem

oof

I used to like minimum wage and corporation tax. Thomas Sowell cured me of those notions

Min wage isnt the worst thing it just doesnt solve anyhing

yeah

100% agree

but the netherlands is a bit smarter when it comes to this stuff

I game with some dutch peoples and they say the same

Min wage is just a system to force taxes up,

You force companies to either pay more money (which will be taxed)
Or fire people who then become jobless, so you have to pay them unemployment benefits

Which is again paid by taxes

I made a calculation last year

if i were to shop in the netherlands for everything for 1 year

and since the taxes go up, the amount you earn by minimum wage doesn't increase either

i would be saving up to 800-1000€ a year

damn

all costs accounted for

come shoppeh here 😉

we already do wol

gud

just avoid Amsterdam

Amsterdam is shit

this is why brexit is so good. Food clothing and shoes get cheaper - directly helps the poorest people if we go to WTO rules

border areas, tilburg, roosendaal etc

Brabander!

antwerp

ah

so its not far for me

close enough! 😛

"Emotionally aware robot"?

omfg

@wacka more faith in the UK parliment lost

not a lot left

ahahaha, that's awesome

are they trying to create a "Trump Theatre" show?!

they're failing... MISERABLY!!

the forking boomers wont even realise its just preprogramed

would have been so cool if a flash of lightening occurred .. and a man appeared in futuristic garb... just blasted the robot 17 times ... turned around and said "you're welcome", pressed a thing on his chest and disappeared...

hahahaha

why not one of those Battle Bots

come in bleeping "TRAITOR"

and attacking with some kind of robot-saw

nah it'd shoot up half the labour bench for treason

did any of you remember

wait, thats a great idea!

that thing about AI hiring against women

Jes, you're putting us all on a watch list

😛

😄

AI is sexist!

I don't agree with Jes's opinions

its the UK mate, I'm probs already on one

ur in tim pools discord

and i'm a big fan of muslim rapegan....

Sorry i can't do it 😛 UK You're shit!

the police patrols are watching

uk gov is allowed to demand my internet history from my ISP

you're automatically already in the "alt-right neo nazi fascist camp"

yup

I honestly have more respect for Hillary than for May at this point

90% of the time I go to tweet I just dont because I dont want to be arrested

sh*ting on the government is a valuable part of british culture

May is beyond a joke

@Dr.Wol thats a harsh statement. but I dont know that I disagree

I dont get why she fears retards like verhofstadt

even over here nobody likes that asshole
