Interesting how joining the organisations tackling corruption is also showing me some good long term trades. There is a real difference between tax minimization and tax evasion. <iframe width="640" height="390" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/dQ1gjyPQ4SU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> 2011 video, but I guess the themes are still valid : - how corrupt is a country? down the line means how poor a country will become
I have to say that French people are always at the avant guard : I guess the competition to get elected get people to fight dirty - One Police director suspended for corruption - Billionnaires sent to jail. Another one Serge Dassault ( Aircraft manufacturer) having his politician immunity lifted so as to face criminal charges. <iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/F_GxjMhrmTY?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> wow : charged with paying money to pay disadvantaged voters to vote for him, as such practice - according to his opponents - modify the "sincerity" of the political vote! lol These corrupt people are funny : they never want to live in corrupt countries , BUT love moving among decent people! Let's remeber tha many wealthy people are decent!
I have to say I am actually feeling a bit sorry for him really. Apparently young people were invited in his office to ask for "donations" to start their businesses - no business plan needed _ and cash provided on the day. One is explaining he need 50 000$ to start a restaurant, and has been given the cash. Another around 150 000$ for a transportation company, and has been given the cash. Quiet many really. I would not be astonished that was at least a milion used to finance startup businesses. <iframe width="640" height="390" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Qc9dXwJlUQA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Nan there is corruption and corruption. It is best to finance 100s of young people starting a startup at 60 000$ each, than financing a multinational with billions of taxpayers money. Now I can understand why things are really turning ugly for these local election campains. Now compare this gentleman like Mr The Maire Serge Dassault with assholes like 'worthless piece of shit' and his 'slaves' and hookers who destroy other people's lives. I have never heard of a pimp giving 5 figures on the spot for people to start their own business independently. Sorry, as far as I am concerned these are not in the same league. There is corruption and corruption.
Serge Dassault mistake : he should have just opened a formal different government office, explaining that any young person from his constituency could come and claim an amount to start his business. Instead he let any young person from his constituency to be allowed into his own office. The guy was too old to realise that "formalities" when distributing abundance , are necessary in a country where the rule of law is promoted. Funnily enough no left wing politician voted to lift his immunity, he himself asked it to be lifted so that he could explain what he did: too many unemployed, blah blah blah that he motivated financially to go into business.
To be honest I understand "Le Vieux" : " I am a multi-billionnaire. I am not going to bring my money with me when I die. I 'd rather finance these young people to start a business. Most can't even write a business plan : why should I ask them to write one ? so that they hire a consultant to write it for them? Non. I'd rather they come and tell me face to face what business they want to do, I can ask them questions having myself business experience. " Really can't say anything to that.
Now it looks to me that "Le Vieux" has problems because he opposed the actual interiro minister, Valls, during the elections 2 years ago. Looks to me he acted more like a grand-father to the young people of his constituency. Also, his constituancy did not create tax deficit for the state. Sorry nothing bad to say. that's my opinion. <iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/LEJcvseV0Ko?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="640" height="390" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/VuVvnGtuWpE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Well well well , I have spent a LOT of time and energy here learning about the Symbolic of Ananas. How on earth such a fruit is now used in - here the coming electoral choices... I would have never guessed that one day I'd be reflecting on Ananas comosus, or Pineapple. Now how on earth such a fruit , described here ( boring) : <iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/NLEcCPzQxss?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Been used to create real upset, so that in a Justice Palace, national anthems get sung <iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/TWRVXIAzvMA?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Things here are definitively "brewing". BHL : I have basically finished it. I will get his other one.
