Tax <---> Theft

Taxes are not retroactive. This is criminal.

Well the very worst that an happen is money collapses and people start bartering with goods and services.

That form of economy is as old as teh earth.

This will bring about large suffering, for the reason people don't make goods any more. They are produced in such intricate factories/production chains/networks, whose productivity is fully dependent on the ease of monetary transactions. Making a pencil, for example, takes 80 procedures, and nobody masters them all. If you would 10-double the loss in every stage when making the pencil, the pencil would be 10 times more expensive, and our living standard would take a 90% hit.

Today they are seriously discussing 40% tax for some deposits... I'm just... Can't watch this requiem for private property in Europe...

Hey, sorry - This is the beginning of the private property: from now on we don't pay the bankers any more, and sure some depositors will lose, but who said that the banks are to be trusted in the first place? This is a great and good revelation of what the banking business is all about.

Savers lose their savings, mortgagers lose their homes...

0.01% maybe have all the money and all the property, but 99.99% still have guillotines.


Meh, they will be used against the messengers, such as you and me. Nothing new under the sun.

And now governments are just punishing those savvy people who didn't jump into the abyss of mortgage (financial slavery), but carefully saved they money until they can afford something to buy and own it for real.


The mortgagetakers' end will be even worse  Sad

What will happen in the next few days: Businesses dealing cash only ( is happening already) Employers not paying wages by cheque or bank transfer. Employees demanding being payed in cash or goods. A bank run to some degree so they have to shut down ATM's and tellers. in a few days shipping of goods and supplies to Cyprus stops as there is no functional banking system and shippers worrying about getting payed.

At the end of the week, empty shelves in the supermarkets. The Euro on par with the Dollar. European American and Asian leaders scramble by short notice to the "shit happens summit" where the Chinese and Russians agree to to lend in return for the Eurozone opening it's borders completely for Chinese goods and businesses.

The 300 year era in which westen Europe was the hub of trade ends.

Yeah, possible. I think I maybe should go to safe mode and cease all bank operations effective next week.

Not too long ago, in mid-Oct 2008, I remember lines of people withdrawing their accounts in a Finnish bank. I was actually depositing some EUR 15,000 for some of my metals sales, and it was getting heated because (as we all know) the bank did not have enough cash at hand. From the end of the line, I offered to deposit first, so that they could be paid. The people looked at me in disdain and did not give way. When it was my turn, the clerk was sweating and seemed grateful for my deposit. He forgot to fill the antimoneylaundering papers, poor guy had a helluva day.  Grin
