Environmental and Energy Policy is flawed in many countries. Nothing illustrates this better than Vince Cable's “Green Investment Bank” or France's 612.5 million euro attempt to create 10,000 jobs building windmills (that is 61,250 euro a job!).
We want employment, so why do we tax labour? Taxing something means that less of it is used (QED). The surest way to increase employment is by decreasing income tax and other taxes on labour.
With the elections approaching in The Netherlands, the Dutch Green Party (Groen Links) and D66 need to offer more than just a repeat of the old same. The article offers everything a good left wing supporter stands for, more employment and lower pollution. So, decrease the tax on labour AND increase the tax on pollution.
Nice post. I learn something new and challenging on sites I stumbleupon
on a daily basis. It will always be exciting to read articles
from other authors and use a little something from their sites.
