> The criteria for defining an "ultra-rich" should vary from one EU country to another, due to the economic, fiscal and social differences between member states. In Belgium, for example, we propose that anyone with 1.25 million euros in assets in addition to their main home and business assets should qualify as "ultra-rich".
just admit you want to finally complete project EUSSR.
now it's 1.25 million extra that's verboten, tomorrow it's a house and a car.
i'd rather burn all my belongings than pay up for your nightmare of future.
When Trump cuts the swap lines and the EUR goes to being worth 1/2 penny, people gonna be megabutthurt.
@cjd @brightside @jeffowski on the bright side, maybe the eu would dissolve then? xD
@bonifartius you are free to leave EU. Head over to US.
@generationX
i have to assume that you are aware "you are free to leave" historically is the setup for "get in the cattle car".
@generationX apology accepted.
please note that ideas like taxing property - the income with which it was bought was very likely already taxed - is defacto disowning people. ideas like this are markers for totalitarian regimes.
> The second form of confiscatory taxation was a capital levy on Jewish wealth imposed in 1938 after the annexation of Austria. Earlier the same year, all Jewish assets had been registered with the local tax office. As with the migration tax, assessment was at book values according to the tax code to prevent undervaluation. The capital levy was first set at 20% and later increased retroactively to 25%, as the intended revenue target was originally not met. Based on its revenue, the implied net value of Jewish assets in 1938 would be 4.5 billion Reichsmarks, a value also cited in the 1947 source underlying Table 1. In a study of Jewish dispossession in Austria, Junz (2002) finds a slightly lower value of 4.3 billion Reichsmarks.
unfortunately the EU is chock full of these ideas right now. confiscating property via taxation, limiting speech for dubious reasons, etc. all while leveraging history (like nazi germany) to justify prosecution of people against these totalitarian ideas.
@bonifartius sorry and apologize, that was not my intention.
