Don't be worry. They'll do both. They'll call the fuel tax the carbon tax and this one will be road wear tax.

It's usually a bad idea not to charge people according to usage as it distorts the problem.

Greece has 353 Leopard 2 MBTs. Russia has 930 T-90s, 4500 T-80s in reserve, 8000 T-72 MBTs in reserve.

Russia also has 443 Su-27 derived aircraft.

Greece has more tanks than Germany. That's how few tanks Germany has. Russia has like 10x the amount of tanks.

Germany isn't a colony.

Bwahahaha. Poor deluded person. Germany does not have the capability to defend itself against anything. They delegated their military defense to the USA now they have to pay the price.

There is also the General Electric - Enercon windmill case a couple of years back.

Let me guess you paid a toll both for the problem report call and probably another fee for the "technician" visiting.

A lot of us know that Apple stock is inflated yes.

They'll probably just pay someone else to do it for them with the oil money as usual.

"Majority" choice my ass. In republics we elect oligarchs to rule for us. I wish it was mob rule like in an Athenian Democracy.

Sure. I disagree with the news item text though. "been available under a modified BSD license" my ass. It's a non-commercial license pure and simple. Nothing BSD about it.

The banks are being forbidden by the ECB to buy Greek government bonds in case you did not read those news either. They still need the financial assistance anyway.

You don't get it do you? Been hearing the news? The ECB is threatening to stop providing "liquidity assistance" to Greek banks. Banks not the government.

The government will also hit into a liquidity problem eventually but the government is actually the entity with the least liquidity issues.

I did the math once. It takes a decade of work to get enough money to buy a house here. That's assuming you save it all and don't spend a dime on things like food, clothes, transportation, housing, etc. In my grandfathers time, who bought the house may parents live in, he saved the money for it in two years while working two jobs. That's the difference. It used to be like 3 years salary and now it is 10.

Low people don't care to progress because they know the chance of them actually succeeding is near that of winning the lottery. So why bother.

You are wrong though. The living standards in the US started getting worse when personal income taxes for the rich went down and the loan rates went down.

When loan rates go to zero house prices tend to infinity. Also back when personal income taxes for the rich were higher they would rather keep the money in their corporations and increase net wealth creation via empire building.
