European Union: A Bloc With Some Weak Leaders, Failed Their Citizens

The European Council of Foreign Relations conducted a 11,000 citizens’ poll in France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Bulgaria, Sweden, and Denmark. This was to ascertain their views of their countries’ ‘leaders’ performances as to CV-19; Their effete ‘leaders’ failed.

Beyond the mere typical ‘Bureaucratic Inefficiencies’ inherent in ‘Bloc Management’ designs, one may offer: “Weak ‘leaders’ perform weakly”. In one particular instance, a country ‘leader’ who is a ‘Chemist’ by education and career, performed miserably per the citizens of that country. Imagine, a “Chemist” not being able to fathom the potential severity of a virus! The country has some of the finest Bio-Chemical facilities in the world; The ‘leader’ could question personnel IMMEDIATELY for help. Acting ‘with strength’ would have been nice.

Some of the other countries ‘leaders’, being ‘Attorneys’ by education and career, are hardly guilty of not understanding the nuances of a: “Single-strand, RNA Virus” as is CV-19. The nuances of this virus may be beyond their intellectual grasp.

What ALL of the ‘leaders’ had in common was the governmental capacity to forthwith attack the on-coming problem with: funding, equipment, facilities, medical expertise, and will power; they all failed their citizens miserably [per the E.C.F.R. Poll].

As we have said many times: The number of ‘Strong World Leaders’ can be counted with the fingers on one’s hands; There are “World Leaders”, and there are Nations’ ‘leaders’, of which there are many.

Many people have perished to CV-19. People polled may think they chose the wrong individuals to direct their countries in this virus fight. Perhaps, in many cases, Attorneys who ‘morphed’ into ‘Politicians’, who ‘morphed’ into ‘leaders’ were the wrong choices of the citizenry. However, those citizens who have ‘passed’, do NOT get a chance of another vote; this for replacements of their weak ‘leaders’.

Reality: When selecting your country’s ‘leaders’, think twice before voting for those with ‘politicized’ “sizzle”. You may be making a fatal mistake.

High Taxes And Strict Regulations Do Not Bode Well For Investments In Denmark

News Analysis: The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) shows Denmark to have its highest overall Marginal Tax Rate of all of its Members at 60%.  For 2014, up to 51.7% Taxes can apply to Individuals’  Incomes while Corporations face a 24%  Tax Rate.

Presently, Danes are investing their monies outside the Country at almost a treble rate to the Inflow of Foreign Investments.

Unemployment in Denmark is staying at a historically higher level than Government Leaders would desire.

As is the case elsewhere, Unemployment causes Emigration. The better educated and more youthful members of a Country, if unemployed, often choose to leave. In a country with 5.5+ Million Residents of which approximately  30+% are 55 Years of age or older this does not help to cover Social Costs of an Aging Population.

Two things can help Denmark prosper: Younger Residents and Greater Foreign Investments in the Country. For the First Element, a higher birth rate is essential or more Immigration into the country is needed. As to the Second Element, significant lowering of taxes and restrictions easing for Business Operations is essential.

If Denmark’s leaders choose to be steadfast in their Tax and Restrictions Requirements, they  will not achieve prosperity for their Aging Population.

There is a ‘Gravitational Pull’ of Wealth and Productive Ideas to those Countries which earnestly understand “The Law of Commercial Incentives”.

Reality.

Denmark’s Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) Can Conceal “The Steal”

News Analysis: People desirous of Hiding Funds from Tax Authorities are presently employing the ‘LLP’ in Denmark to conceal their monies (Legitimate or Otherwise) gained elsewhere. Since both the Funds and the Beneficiaries of the Partnership are hidden from view, “Transparency” is totally obscured.

One can anticipate that pressure exerted by other Countries on Denmark will compel a Tax Change in the Country. Tax Evasion costs such enormous yearly Revenue Losses to Countries everywhere that lack of enthusiasm for the ‘LLP’ can be understood.

One might ask a Tax Evader: “Does the Joy of Concealment Equal The Risk Of Punishment?”

As Governments’ Electronic Interception of Data becomes even more pervasive, one might be of the opinion that “A Tax Evader Not Getting Caught Is As Possible As Bathing In The Ocean And Not Getting Wet”. 

Reality.

Denmark Claims Offshore Arctic Territory

News Analysis: Denmark Claims Offshore Arctic Territory extending an additional 150 Miles beyond its current 200 Mile Limit; ergo, an additional million km2 (386,100 mi2) of area . Likely Sub-Seafloor Mineral Deposits make Denmark’s Claim financially worth pursuing. Many other Countries are Claiming the same Territory, therefore, Court Adjudication in coming years will determine the victor.

The United Nations Convention of the Laws of the Sea ‘UNCLOS’ has its Claims Termination date in 2014.

Environmentalists with the Best of Intentions may abhor Arctic Minerals Exploration but until they themselves have Billions of Dollars to Charitably Donate towards operating Countries, Governments will seek the Mineral Wealth of the Arctic. Reality.
