New fees: more than Silvio, is a revolt
of Alberto Mingardi
Dear readers, now it's up to you. There is little to add to what Oscar Giannino wrote yesterday in these columns. The mission is urgent, the work is ambitious. If the Prodi government will choose the tax crackdown as the only strategy to put public finances in order, we must not only "give a signal." Another signal that serve the barricades.
The problem is that the barricades would be needed for years. It is from the time of Tangentopoli that this country is "in transition". Suspended between the need to clean up the guano partitocratrico and patronage, namely: the most obvious legacy of the First Republic, and the temptation to compromise, to get used to the peaceful management of the levers of power, namely: the most insidious legacy of the First Republic.
Mr Prodi is not a Martian landed by accident in Italy. From that school is, what will they taught him. It is not surprising. Would be a surprising reaction of the type described by Giannino. Because this time the "North Block", this mythical "people of the producers" who for twenty years circling the abacus of pollsters and gives and takes away the cards to politicians, is truly alone. The election result of the CDL was miraculous, but more than elation or anger should lead to regret. If you took just two weeks saber by liberal hypothetical, Silvio Berlusconi, to pulverize the abysmal distance separating him from Prodi in opinion polls, what would happen, God forbid, if the Liberal government had done it for real? If instead the promise to cut the ICI was used, the voter's vigorous pruning of the rates on which in 2001 had collected a victory a bit 'different from the one touted by UL today?
Please, daubing cards is easy, the life of a government is something else. But more than the few thousand votes of waste is the waste of a huge majority - in an international situation that in spite of what has been said and repeated gave the opportunity, and how, to prove his mettle in domestic policy - which is due to anger.
Take the Financial Times. Today, quite rightly, critical Prodi. It is a newspaper other than the one yesterday beaten the Knights? They changed the director? The Wall Street Journal, and conservative newspaper "Amerika," certainly do not sympathize with the neo-premier. But if the old one called "Don balls, red-hot with the contempt which reserves a pack leader for Brooklyn, it will have done just no reason to dislike preconceived, or that taken by the joint forces of the great Freemasonry, Opus Dei, of 'Association-intellectual-frustrated-and-then-antiberlusconiani, Goofy, Pluto and Donald Duck? The truth is that the two oracles of the world economy have simply nailed to the weight of the Knight betrayed his promises. It is the latter, not the presumed lack of international respectability, ol'acrimonia large print, making the center-right as it is now a spokesman for the righteous indignation unreliable popular rose, which should rise if the government retouch VAT.
I mean, how can you say "enough taxes" who, being able and promising, has not cut? How can you object to any burden of the levy, who has called for increase in tariff? A tariff is a tax. Among other things, is a tax increase which in practice is consistent with a tightening of VAT: higher prices for consumers. There can be opposed to one another and encourage, without at least a peck fart sound? We are always
to '92, the landslide that buried the remains of the first republic. The active seismic, the "North Block", the "issue of the North", the "people of the producers, is still active. But how then does not find political representation. The few cartridges that if he is already gone.
It's time to put my face, dear "producers." I know that democracy is the regime of the lazy, Standing where the total mobilization of those civil wars that have regular election campaigns alternate longer periods of healthy disregard for public affairs.
Epper the prospect of a new increase in the shearing should stand up and scream enough. Do not expect anyone else does. Do not make the best of a bad job, confident in the ability of prestidigitazionale accountant. But to say a good time to confiscate legal roughly half of your income, the fruits of your labor, the salt of your sweat, there were. However, you are able? Or you had until now only the leaders that you deserve? Can you at least think, a healthy and lasting tax revolt, or even today, idea to bring out the muscles and take up the responsibility of the case, answer as yesterday: "I wish the family?" to release, April 26, 2006

Benjamin Tucker: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STATE AND INDIVIDUAL
* LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, presumably the honor you have done me in inviting me to address you today on "The relationship with the individual State" is primarily due to a combination of circumstances that made me so in aulche a leading exponent of modern anarchist theory - a theory that is becoming increasingly seen as one of the few that offer a solid foundation for political and social life. In his name, so I'll talk to discuss this subject that underlies and touches clearly almost all practical problems with which this generation is facing. The future of the duties, taxation, finance, property, women, marriage, family, suffrage, education, invention, literature, science, the arts, personal habits, the private nature , ethics, religion will be determined by which humanity will come to the conclusion as to whether and to what extent the individual must obey the state.
Anarchism, dealing with this subject, has found it necessary, first of all define its terms. Popular conceptions of political terminology as incompatible with strict accuracy required by scientific research. you can be sure that a deviation from the use of popular speech is accompanied by the risk of an erroneous understanding of the multitude, who persistently ignore the new definitions, but on the other hand, compliance with it can meet all ' deporevole even more confusion in the eyes of alternative specialist, who would be justified in attributing inaccuracy of thought where there is inaccuracy of expression. Take the term "State", for example, that particularly concerns us today. And 'the word on everyone's lips. But how many of those who use it have some idea of \u200b\u200bwhat they mean by it? And among the few who have it, that varieties concepts! Designamo the term "state" institutions representing absolutism in its extreme form and isituzioni temper that with more or less liberal. We apply the word in the same way isituzioni that do nothing but attack and institutions that, in addition to assault, to some extent protect and defend. But what is the function of the state, aggression or defense, few seem to know or care.
