Only a matter of time (assuming the world doesn't go arse over tit, and things carry on for the next couple of hundred years as they are) till we're in for a United States of Europe anyway. We're not all that far from it with the European Union as it stands, really - and a federal tax would just ease other things in like a federal police force, europe-wide standardised public health care, etc etc...

As far as i know it's just a proposal to have a unique Vat rate valid across Europe in every market segment, that has more to do with keep the market competition fair more than redistribute richness between nations ....

There is for one reason Norway never joined the EU(Even tho we got our EØS-deal).

It's seldomly that simple.
we all like lower taxes, but the foundation on wich the scandinavian countries
are built is on mutual solidarity. These ideals are as of today under heavy attack all over europe, in the name of individual freedom and accountablility.

I for one do not share that ideal, no matter how much i might earn I'm happy to do my part, to ensure every person in denmark has a resonable standart of living. even if they indeed are lazy no good bums who sit at home on wealfare, because at the end of the day, I'll still be better off then they are, and I'll sure as hell probebly live a longer and more fullfilling life.

The tendency towards individualism thats growing and growing "at least in dk"
is for me, quite sickening...you see it everywhre, from taxes, welfare policies, but also in everyday life, a person can collapsin the middle of a busy sidewalk, and 7 out of 10 people will just keep walking, and figure, "someone els will deal with it, why should I bother"

The past 10 years in DK we've had a liberal gov, and basicly they've starved the Social model on wich our nation and taxation is based on. proclaiming a tax freeze. but at the same time giving tax reliefs to those earning the highest wages, and at the same time freezing the wealfare rate back in 2003
wich in effect means that people on wealfare today have a far lower purchasing power.

So anyway...to sum it up..the right wing can go F* it self, and the left wing should wake the F* up and step out of the past. the traditional workers struggle is over!

We're not all that far from an ellection in DK,and to be frank, I havent a clue where to place my vote, as I think the one side is full of self seving faggots, and the other a bunch of incompitant fossils.

Oh look, Olga recieved his "old grumpy f*ck" card in the mail :D

Agree with the solidarity; we do have nice healthcare, roads, wellfare etc, so the taxes are ok. They could be different in my opinion ofcourse, like changing politician f*cking enormeous wages for nurses and other who DESERVE it, and so on, but they work as is as well.

Don't particulary agree with; "and I'll sure as hell probebly live a longer and more fullfilling life.", you condescending f*ck :p More money doesn't equal being better off.

I kinda like how finland is turning towards "We dun give a f*ck" state, about politics, about religion, about gay(etc) things and what have you.
