Any trader From Italy?

Quote from Baruch:

Which country?

Belgium

An employee gets only 1/3 of what he costs to his boss.
No wonder there are so many problems with employment.
An employee needs enough salary to be motivated; multiply that amount by three and you known what it will cost you to motivate him.

National sport in Belgium: fiscal fraude and avoiding paying taxes.

 
Quote from nononsense:

Baruch,

IMHO, Spike's overview seems to be kind of representative for all "old stock" EU union countries.

OK, I didn't knew. It's right that we pay a lot in taxes, but it's wrong that people without job gets a lot of money.
 
Quote from Pasternak:

Nahh, we have a nasty wealth tax of about 1,2% of your net worth. It kicks in already at 16000 USD. If you have 1000000 in stocks and make 10% a year, the wealth tax is a big deal. That means 28 000 in income tax and 12 000 in wealth tax. Stocks is measured at market price, but real estate has a huge discount tax wise. Therefore much better to invest in real estate compared to stocks. Also too many indirect taxes and too much welfare to pay.

Besides: climate, cost of living (I believe Oslo is top three in that regard) and the experience of living abroad. The bst thing is to buy real estate in Norway (high cost country) but living in a low cost country (Brazil for example). I have a Swedish friend doing that.

Yes, Norway is very expensive. I was in Bergen last year, and I paid 60 norske kroner for a beer!
 
Quote from Lefty62151:

I am always amused at the concern people have for taxes and locality. Privately I imagine that only a small percentage of ET members are profitable at all, yet they engage in fantasy about where they might live if they had money :D

My family on my mother's side comes from a small town outside Florence. My great grandfather was Napolitano. Through my family I own land in Florence and in Monaco. Although I own this land outright, as a little boy, I was told that it was my duty to grow up and take my place holding this property for my children and grandchildren. Also I learned of my responsibility to take care of my parents. Throughout my life, we have never talked about taxes nor have we worried about this issue. Instead we put our efforts into living well and taking care of our responsbilities. Wherever you choose to live, one can only hope that that place will come to mean as much to you as my family's land means to me. While I realize the importance of discussing these profoundly important issues, I also like to make time to think about how the hills round my home fold back upon themselves, and the smell of wild rosemary growing along the road as I get closer to my home. I hope those who read this find some sense of balance when thinking about this subject.
Good luck,
Lefty

Lefty, spare us your continued amusement with everything ET eh? You superiority complex having schmuk.
 
Go phuck yourself (in your own language of course) :D

At this point I am amused with your wonderful imitation of a poor illiterate dirt farmer.

I wonder if you type your own posts, or travel to the city to have someone do that for you? If you have to travel to find acess to the internet, it may be that you are tired and irritable after riding for so many hours on the back of a donkey.

I will be thinking of you the next time I feel the urge to urinate.

Lefty.

Take it easy, old chap.
 
I wish I could be cool and post smug comments, replete with not so subtle hints about how much better than everyone else I am, like Lefty. What a trader. What a man.
