The Blue-haired Goblins Have Infiltrated The Tax System

Dear Friend,

My liberal government just gave me another reason to escape the country.

Here’s the story:

A couple of weeks ago, the big-brained folks in the parliament decided to push through a new stupid tax rule.

A rule so dumb... so outrageous... so greedy…

It's titled "Box 3" and…

It’s about taxing your investments… even if... you didn’t actually make any money yet.

Lemme explain:

Right now, the law doesn’t tax what you actually earned… instead… it assumes your assets grew by a “fictitious return.”

Stocks.... crypto... gold... bonds… doesn’t matter.

The government just pretends you made money.

Imagine you have $3,000 in gold.

The law calculates a made-up profit... and then... hits you with a 36% tax on this imaginary gain.

So even though your money hasn’t grown in real life… you might still owe hundreds of dollars in taxes.

What a bunch of dirty Goblins.

Who in their right mind thought this was a good idea?

(It’s always the blue-haired folks)

Anyway…

This simply adds another reason to my list of "Reasons To Evacuate From The Netherlands (And Europe)."

“Where do I plan on moving to?” I hear you asking.

Well, believe it or not, I'm moving to...

Wait:

Have I lost my mind?

Isn't Mexico corrupt and run by Narco's ready to jump you any second… and then… force you to swallow five unsanitized balloons filled with a certain “white-powdered substance” (not sugar) into the depths of thy stomach?

No.

Not really.

You see…

My (now ex) girlfriend is from Mexico. I've been there three times already. I've never felt scared… not even in the “sketchy” places.

(maybe my whiteboy survival instinct is to blame… but… who cares right? Who would even dare to hurt a kind, semi-handsome, innocent hombre like El Miguel?!?)

Have you ever been to a place where the moment you arrived, you felt at home?

You say you don’t?

My child…

Maybe it's time to leave your mom's basement for once.

I’m joking. Take it easy. I meant to say your grandma’s basement.

Look:

The second I left out the airplane... stepped into the car... and arrived at her house…

Okay.

What about corruption?

Isn't the government corrupt through & through?

Again, not really.

It depends what area and state you're in.

Also, here’s a little secret:

The difference is the "level" it's on.

Lemme explain…

In countries like the Netherlands, Germany, England, France, etc., you have what’s called…

This simply means the folks within the parliament are corrupted and, in truth, don't care two donuts about you…

And sets rules to hinder your life.

Like the tax plague I explained above.

Okay.

Then you have corruption type #2, which is called…

This type means citizens are well aware the government is corrupt, don't trust it, and only seek it out as a last resort.

However…

The corruption is still “accessible”.

Meaning you can pay police officers to keep from impounding your car.

Anyway…

This is why becoming rich is so important.

When you've got big stacks of dinero, it doesn’t matter what happens because…

That’s it.

No marketing lesson today.

Just wanted to enforce your desire to become rich.

You might be born in a poor family… but… better not grow a poor family out of you.
