Businesses furious over government’s plan to increase indirect taxes

It comes with the territory. Look at the bright side. Unzip at least has probably luxury cars, although I would dare to claim he does not own any Lambos like president Kadyrov. Baltic clowns were always a bit slow and weak. All the ex-commie party members around Eastern Bloc made it big after the collapse in 1991, even Yeltsin himself had few millions stashed at Swiss accounts. These idiots chose clowns like Meri and Laar to ruin their economy. Stupid leaders who could not even cash out of the mess.

They are leaving that third world hole because of the clique that controls it. East Germany is in better shape because West supporting it. How did these morons not try to mimic China in 1991. Gorba and president Yeltsin could have preserved USSR by following the Chinese model. As for Estonians putting an armed rebellion in 1991 if independence had not been given. Don't make me laugh.

I wouldn't be THAT pessimistic. The results in Lithuania's elections will certainly be beneficial for Estonia as the promised hike tax on the rich will scare businesses away there and Estonia will be a welcomed safe haven to them.

However, logistics will not be one of them. In this respect (if the bill gets passed), Estonia will dwarf down potential esport opportunities from domestics, but imports will get more expensive same time.

It is always stunning to see how a government drives up inflation and deployments in a market that already has twice the EU average inflation rate and one of the highest youth unemployment rate.

Reforms, once standing for free trade policies, has become nothing but a referral partner of left wing policies.

Seems, they start to prepare for next national elecetions and they are afraid of the Social Dems who already announced to throw the money around amongst the people.

However, what comes around, goes around and meantime Lithuania is go down the path to Spain, Estonia will continue to nominally increase spending amongst almost all European countries, as taxes have and will (and the little reduction in spending Estonia has seen is due only to inflation).

The "Tiger" thing Estonia achieved outside the Union seems to be over now within this Union of transfers, so don't expect any economic growth soon, wether under a left wing neither right wing government.

Of course they all can count and know the outcome if this, that invasive tax hikes in the trade will create even bigger holes to the treasury.

And the answer also for ansip will be to raise taxes, period!

The bottom line is that those who think would be benefit from tax increase, will and never benefited in the past on any tax increase: the workers.

In fact, it is a trade off, changing employment with slighlty higher unemployment benefits at worst.

It also means to change financial independency (as low it might be for some of them) with more dependency on state's handout, because gain of independency can only happen through economic growth and that is not going to happen in Estonia in the foresseable future, as well for most of the Eurozone, the least.

Unzip couldn't run a business even it involved sitting in a cow shed making milk.

The guy has the intellectual acumen of a chimp.

It's almost as though he deliberately takes aim at anything and everything that works, destroys it, substituting it with lobbying in the EU and "welcome to Estonia", to keep going for astronomical sums in Euro subsidies, promising some mirage of low inflation and "stability".

Why can't they see through this bullshit in Brussels?
Is it because Barroso is just as bad?
