Why are such low Lithuanian taxes being proposed?

 

“Here are three examples of our housing tax, illustrating the new proposals:

 

60.6 thousand EUR (Vilnius city municipality median) – currently does not pay for it, but would pay 81 EUR per year (in the case of spouses, a total of 41 EUR per year);

 

112 thousand EUR (Neringa municipality median) – currently does not pay, but would pay 184 EUR and 144 EUR respectively;

 

550 thousand EUR (many dwellings) – currently pays 3.8 thousand and 1.3 thousand EUR respectively, and would pay 4 thousand and 1.8 thousand EUR respectively.”

 

 

This is just the beginning of a test to see if the scary stories about the Russians told by the security and military will work. Conservatives are afraid to lie because they want to use the power pot after the next election. The Social Democrats always lie (that's how they put Paluckas on us), so they stay out of power for a long time and spoil the atmosphere in the Seimas opposition for years. In this case, the Social Democrats are lying, saying that we will borrow billions of euros annually for mines, cluster bombs, tanks and other war junk.

 

Realistically, under Trump's peace conditions, no one will want to take a risk and allow us to borrow to buy weapons. Already, bonds of the arms industry are becoming unpopular [1]. There will be a scream, the Lithuanian security service, the Lithuanian army will come out, they will start driving politics (which is not allowed anywhere else in other countries, unless it is a military dictatorship). They will shout that the Russians will attack tomorrow, so they will urgently raise taxes so much that they will take away our houses and apartments and sell them to foreigners. Whoever still wants to stay in such a Lithuania will have to pay high rent. Americans, Germans are renting en masse at high prices, why can't you, they will ask.

 

We will be like those French geese – shouting about the alleged Russian threat, they will pluck a lot of feathers (taxes) and scaring us with Russians will ensure little screaming (our protests).

 

Therefore, the Lithuanian security structures are already starting to scare us. The Lithuanian elite has taken away the Polish lands in Vilnius. They have privatized the businesses of the shot Jews for themselves. All that remains is to take away our living spaces. Let's tell the Seimas that we will not elect them to the Seimas if they get away with such a theft of the century.

There are many complex issues,” noted G. Jeglinskas, Chairman of the Seimas National Security and Defense Committee (NSGK).
