Possible Berlusconi comeback is nightmare for Merkel
Berlusconi is a clown, i can handle flamboyant but not trash and this man only proves that cash does not equal class, in this case equals trash. Shame on Italians for even giving this crook a chance. The man is an embarrassment and only proves to the rest of us the typical stereotypes of Italians.
We cannot expect class from a clown.
it’s amazing how berlusconi still takes some consideration in political discussions. it’s amazing nobody wants to consider there are thousands out there, they’re counting days to sweep them all, they simply hate them all, starting from president…. in a week articles like this will be just old stories.
The Italians face a very nice dilemma on who should lead Italy in this very difficult economic situation.
The choices are:
Mr. Monti who has brought Italy to a depression stage thanks to: high taxes, huge inflation due to the various fuel taxes which have increased fuel cost and as a consequences all goods and services by similar amount (the purchase power of Italian workers is now the same as it was in the late 70 based on Istat research), a retroactive pension reform that has forgotten 350000 people who are now without a job and without pension. He allowed fiscal police to use statistics to measure how much taxes should an individual pay without consideration to the actual earnings (so if the stats says that your business should earn 100k but you actually earned 50k you pay taxes on 100k as the fiscal police presumes that the differences was done “under the table” and therefore you have evaded the difference) so many companies were /are pushed to bankruptcy or closed their operations. He introduced fiscal controls on what you buy, any expense more than 1k euro is reported to the fiscal authorities, so that they can estimate your standard of living and compare it to the actual income declared and reassess you taxable income using the former statistical data. The results are that people, who do not want to risk an audit, as fighting the fiscal authorities is expensive and a lengthy proposition, stoped purchasing.. Thanks to all the above he, in spite of the huge tax increments, has actually increased the deficit by more than 7% bringing it up to over 128%of gdp and it is still growing
Mr. Bersani who is a communist who believes in the class struggle and the rich should pay more than their fair share as they got rich thanks to illegal means and by exploiting the workers. Whose Party controls MPS and therefore hired the managers that created the big financial mess in the oldest Bank in the World.
Mr. Grillo who is an excellent stand-up comedian, but has no business skills nor understandings about economics finance etc. and who is considered even more left than Bersani, his goal is actually to eliminate all the privilege of the Political Class (good idea) and tax even more the rich, based on his policies, we should go around Italy on a bike and power our houses with the wind and the sun
Mr. Berlusconi a person that is still suffering from the side effects of excessive Viagra use. But who is the only person who can keep together the centre-right forces and that promises to reduce property taxes and therefore giving more oxygen to the people, promises to bring back to more reasonable audit procedure the fiscal police.
So are you still surprised that Italians are again considering Berlusconi?
Unfortunately I believe that Mr. Bersani will win bringing Italy economic policies to the left of France
