Well, here we are again. It's 2012 and the year has started off with a bang - tax increases here in Spain. Yes. That's right. The only way the government can fix the country is to raise income tax. VAT has not yet been mentioned but I imagine it's only a matter of time as most experts reckon that it is too low. The irony is, though, that even with all the new measures taken by the government, the targets will most likely not be reached (see screenshot below). Judging by the photo, the stress is getting to Mr. Montoro, and he's only been in the job for a month! The solution to the problem, as told to me by many an educated Spaniard, is to start paying for services that have previously been free. Roads, hospitals, medicines could all be charged for. We wouldn't have to pay much. Say 10 euros to go from Madrid to Seville by car. Roads could be improved and the deficit could be reduced. Makes sense. But how do you convince the majority? You don't. You just do it.  I showed this video to a few people the other day and they were amazed and saddened that the country is portrayed in such a way. Have a look and decide for yourself. | AuthorAdmin.
