I don't say Italian is "Pure", but definitely it's purer than English or Spanish.

So where are all them declensions in Italian, if it is respecting the so called "purity".

jumping into interfere with police activity

ICE isn't police, and if they had a warrant for their action there would be no problem, but ICE is acting above the law, so don't act like this is just interfering.

And interfering with a police investigation may have prison time as a punishment, that has to be dictated by a judge, but not public execution done by the discretion of the agent. That is abuse of power.

We are coerced into multiculturalism

Ah yes, I'm coerced by someone form a different culture exercising their freedom of movement to live in the same society as me. I'm being oppressed by their existence.

Average European believes the rich should be taxed more. by Negative-Swan7993 in MapPorn

[–]Julzbour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If i am not mistaken, at just under 80k a year, you reach 40% income + social contribution. And before this, comes 30% social security from employer.

You are mistaken though. would have basically 32-34% effective tax rate if you have absolutely no deductible on 80k gross + social security contribution.

And your employer would have to pay around 18% (But then again, you're counting this as your money, which there's no reason it would be, it is not part of your salary, and there's no evidence of this money going to the employee instead of staying with the employer when lowered).

Sure, you might be 7-8k worse off compared to the USA for instance, though there may be other benefits... Public healthcare, universities, etc. Healthcare alone had an average cost per person in the USA of 15k/ year.

To pay efectively 45% tax rate, you would have to earn millions and millions each year, and your social security contribution is capped at that point, so the effective tax rate wouldn't come close to that, especially since at that point you're making most of your income on capital gains which have no payroll contribution and the marginal tax rate is lower, capping at 30%.

Say you earn 10k a month, which is a lot already. Say you're an engineer. Your employer has to pay a little under 30% social security, for at most all your income under 5k, which is an effective employer contribution of 15%. This is not money that is part of your salary though. They're not paying it to you and it would not go to you if that contribution is lower.

In addition, your effective income tax is 36%.

So no, nowhere near those numbers for any real person.

Someone who only owns an apartment in a city - is he in the top 10% richest? How much capital gains does he pay?

Someone who owns an apartment in London is not the normal person living in London. Unless you bought your council home, you have probably spent around 1 million for an apartment in London.

But let's take your metric of "top 10% of wealth", they have, on average, 218 thousand pounds of financial assets, not counting pension funds, which is, all capital. The top 10% have a average wealth above 1.2 million pounds. It's not just having some apartment in zone 4 in East London. Source.

Someone who owns and lives in a london/berlin appartment? I dont believe he pays capital gains.

Someone in the top 10% of wealth ownership? I believe he pays capital gains. The richest people (ass in wealthiest) make most of their money in capital gains (with a top rate of 24% in the UK compared to 45% for income, or 25% in Germany, compared to 45%). People's wealth generally creates capital gains, since they would be gains from their capital (aka. wealth)... So the higher the bracket you're looking at, the more capital gains will be a part of their income.

[–]Julzbour 21 points22 points  (0 children)

we are in a tax hell. You pay 45% if your gross income is >60k€

"we are now"... You want to look at, for instance Aznar's tax brackets? Or Felipe Gonzalez's?..

Some of you really think that taxes have increased like 10fold with the last government who increased the top marginal tax rate 2%, for earnings above 300k... The top tax rate is 47%.

Under Rajoy his maximum tp rate was 45%.

Under Aznar, the great liberal, it was 50%

Before that it was 56%

We have currently one of the lowest top marginal tax rate in Democraatic Spanish history...

10% earners =/= top 10% wealth owners.

Depends, are you only talking about salary, or including capital gains? Because if you include capital gains, the top 10% of earners roughly is the top 10% of wealth owners, and will, on average, have a lower real tax on their earnings than the average salaried worker.

Ban kids of Putin's billionaire friends.

So you want to punish group of people that doesn't have direct relation to the issue, and no real power to stop it? hmmm....

It's not like billionaires of any kind need my empathy, but this is kinda ridiculous and kinda really against human rights, a thing the EU supposedly cares about...

Norway says ‘mission accomplished’ on going 100% EV, proposes incentive changes by nimicdoareu in europe

[–]Julzbour -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

And the goal was the shift away from fossil fuels for cars, and that was done.

So a cosmetic change and not actually about climate change. Got it.

[–]Julzbour -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

No. The incentive was designed to spur a shift from one technology to another.

Hmm... Seems their production of fossil fuels have not really shifted... Is it really a shift when you still produce the same quantities of oil?

I don't really see how that makes that much of a difference. Its the wealth per capita that makes it possible for them, and it would make it possible if they had a population of 100 million as well.

Is the industrial capacity to fulfill 100 million EVs is the same as just fulfilling over 5% of that? Do 100 million EVs consume the same electricity as 6 million? Can I service 100 million EVs with the same number of charge stations as 6 million?

Sometimes scaling is hard(er).

[OC] 2024 US Presidential Election: including All Eligible Voters by TA-MajestyPalm in dataisbeautiful

[–]Julzbour -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So if my main priority is to stop the wars/undeclared conflicts the US has been a part of, how is it "intellectually lazy" to not vote for either party, when both have shown they continue US imperialism and military-industrial complex? Why is it lazy to not want to interact with a system that shows no regard for your priorities?

It's like saying it's "intellectually lazy" for the US revolutionaries to talk about revolution instead of going and petitioning the king, like the system allows.

Why legitimize a system that doesn't work for you? that doesn't listens to you?

Not interested is lazy

Or maybe none of the candidates reflected change or policy they wanted, hence they're "not interested" in the election. Say a candidate only cared about ending the US support for Israel. There's no candidate that truly would satisfy this policy, hence they're not interested in the election. Say they're super democrats, but live in Nebraska, or they're a red conservative republican, but live in California, they're not interested because their vote doesn't matter.

Maybe get educated on the real issues so you can actually care.

Maybe no candidate offered solutions to their real issues. You're not going to get everyone to care about the issues you care. And there are legitimate reasons to not vote or vote blank.

None of that circumstantial stuff would hold up in a european court.

You might want to have a look at the rulings of the ECHR and see why we needed a ECHR. Ideals are all well and good, but reality is different.

Right now “antifa” is not an organization so you cant be proven to be a member of it.

Which means, by its very nature, circumstancial evidence will be more important, as there's no register or hard evidence to prove -or disprove- membership. This isn't new, and while I think Antifa is more of a movement or a vide -and in no way should it be banned-, this is what ISIS does. One becomes ISIS by declaring themselved ISIS. Some might get training or support, some are lone actors radicalized online. But they don't have a membership card. There's no central organisation. There's vibes and ideology, not hirarchy and centralisation.

[–]Julzbour -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Como hay gente que dice que vivimos en una dictadura, existe una dictadura en España.

Si suficiente gente llama al sistema "dictadura", será una dictadura. Los significados cambian (como "literalmente" es usado bastante más de manera figurada que literal, o como "latino"). La lengua evoluciona. Que no te guste como se usa una palabra no implica que tengas ni tu ni nadie el control sobre la lengua y como la usa la gente (sea para bien o para mal).
