When goods are stopped at the borders

Filed under: Economia,Internacional — António Costa Amaral (AA) @ 11:40

Via Cato@Liberty (“Religious Think Tank Defends Tax Competition), “Tax: Europe’s New Battlefield” do Acton Institute:

…. “Tax-harmonization” in the EU, incidentally, never means lowering tax-rates. It invariably involves raising taxes to the same high level. It was on this basis that, when faced with companies leaving Germany to base their headquarters in 19 percent flat-tax Slovakia, Germany’s ex-chancellor Gerhard Schroeder once accused Slovakia of “un-European” behavior. To be truly European — apparently — means giving about half your income to the government.

O título é uma óbvia referência a Bastiat: “When goods do not cross borders, soldiers will.
