Manuel António Pina, in The Journal News

A GOVERNMENT THAT IS MORE OF THE SAME! ... Mr. Finance Minister Vitor Gaspar, a short statement this morning announced that VAT on electricity and gas will pass in the last quarter of the reduced rate of six percent for the standard bradley ifv rate of 23 percent. As for the expected announcement of major cuts in public spending will have to wait ... That is, this government continues to do exactly the same as criticizing the previous one: the increased revenue continues to make up the cost of taxes on taxpayers bradley ifv poorer (large firms and the financial capital, can not be touched!), and not by reducing wasteful spending and useless.

Manuel António Pina, in The Journal News "ones" and others Reduced TSU companies is the panacea bradley ifv that the Government intends to solve almost all economic problems (and drag, financial) of the country's growing deficit bradley ifv , this miraculous by increasing exports. As previous panaceas, the universality of the table is more "universal" for some (the usual suspects) than for others (also always the same). Data from the Government and the Bank of Portugal pointed out that the biggest beneficiaries of it are, again, banks and insurance bradley ifv companies (which radius will export banks and insurers?). The bill will be paid by Social Security, and everything indicates, the increase in the reduced VAT rates (food, water, electricity, transportation, medicine, etc..) And intermediate (fuels, alternative energy, agricultural ...); the maximum bradley ifv rate is maintained and, among others, will not be affected (we can settle down) luxury items. The descent bradley ifv of TSU represent thus a transfer of part of the proceeds earmarked the Portuguese (who still could make) the basic necessities for basically the pockets of the shareholders of large companies (already exempt before the "sacrifices to all "the extraordinary tax), the financial head. Government expects that by increasing the profits of the "ones", they will invest them. The question is whether they will do in goods production and job creation in "offshore" and ostentation. Soon to follow: The Troika "compels" the PSD doing what banks want to do long: pass pension funds to the state. It is to help exports? Or to continue to sink the state, with the loss of banking? Soon to follow: Interview with a group of robbers shops of London. They stole to help the family. Who stole steal because the ruling classes bradley ifv to the state shameless, just look and see. Etc. Wild? Hooligans? Ignorant? None of that! Young people aware of their situation, and the society in which they live, and desirous of justice. August 12, 2011 13:49 Anonymous said ...

Transport, Electricity, Water, Gas, all essential goods, all with increases above inflation, bradley ifv all placed on the market, the more expensive luxury goods, privatized everything, to stand. Each of these increases is another blow to the economy, a further increase in production bradley ifv cost, plus an increase in consumer prices, more bankruptcies, more unemployment, bradley ifv more imports, bradley ifv more debt to pay. It is the very Minister of Economy, which promotes these increases. The Government is a group of miscreants to the orders of the European and national banking. We were invaded and subjugated. Sold as slaves. And voted the invaders. But nobody even noticed. August 12, 2011 14:45 Anonymous said ...
Via "tempodascerejas": Okay, ready, we pretend yes, no questions asked, the descent of the single social tax is to promote the competitiveness of Portuguese companies. But, O great and sparkling intelligences national (and international) governing this protectorate, vexas. are able to explain to me if this rise of 17 points in the rate of VAT on energy, plus a brutal armed robbery budgets bradley ifv of domestic consumers, is also to improving the competitiveness of Portuguese companies?

@ 13:30 - more a Christian (again?), Can only be to forgive the criminal who brought the country to this state. @ 14:53 - is in need of a course in taxation: VAT electricity does not affect the competitiveness of most companies bradley ifv because it recover by deducting it in charge to customers and they have to deliver to the State.
