      Wat een briljante manier om het pensioen probleem op te lossen (/s)

      So that’s the plan to lessen the burden of pensions! Defund the healthcare *and* allow people to kill themselves for cheaper!

      Well. Hopefully I’m not collateral damage.

      Nu ze eindelijk stoppen met het doen alsof ze geven om de gezondheid van de inwoners, kunnen we dan eindelijk drugs legaliseren? Mss dat een argument betreffende kortere pensioengerechtigde jaren hun wel kan overtuigen.

      Can’t we just put a cordon around MR as well at this point?

      De taksen in Nederland op tabak zijn recent verhoogd met als doel meer inkomsten. Was een beetje tegengevallen want Nederlanders gingen massaal over de grens hun tabak halen met als resultaat dat de inkomsten op tabak zelfs waren gedaald.

      The reasoning actually makes sense and I’m not a fan of MR. As they mention in the article, half of Belgium’s population lives within 50 kilometres from a border so it’s very easy to go abroad for groceries and the like and spend money earned in Belgium in another country. I’m in Brussels and I’ve already heard of people here, in La Louviére and Namur driving all the way to France or Luxembourg as tobacco (in France it’s e-cig liquid) is significantly cheaper… And that’s more than 50 kilometres. Decreasing the VAT as they mention would technically lead to an increase in tax revenue for Belgium.

      It is also impossible to enforce a stricter limit, France tried that (they wanted to limit tobacco imports via land from other EU countries to 200 cigarettes instead of 800) and they were defeated in court by a law student as it goes against EU regulations. France does have high prices but it is such a big country that it is way more effective than in Belgium.

      The most effective solution is the one they mentioned.

      M(aster) R(avers): maak feesten terug betaalbaar!

      Nu nog XTC legaliseren en iedereen kan een hakske gaan zetten!
