dramatically reduced - but quite rightly in the face of today's red-blue pair - commented the Linz Economics Professor Friedrich Schneider, the Social Democratic Party plans to cut the VAT on food. The reason: There are no serious proposals for savings to finance the disproportionate tax loss on the table. Despite billion deficit. The alleged meeting social security was not so long ago ruled out by high-level experts. In this context, the distinction between (fully taxed) Luxury (low taxed) Normal food is downright absurd. By definition, the Social Democrats are exactly 12 products luxury: caviar, lobster, stuffed liver, lobster, saffron, truffles, quail eggs, snails, oysters, ostrich eggs, crabs, shrimp. Shark Steak lovers can look forward to - their favorite food is not on the SPÖ luxury goods index, and we therefore cheaper. Countless similar examples could be mentioned in the process.
Apart from this farce: Additional cabaret potential involves the intentional Separation between food trade (VAT reduction) and relevant trade (a tax cut) into itself. For example, the food at McDonald's or sausage stands: What eats there on the spot would be taxed high, but this is taken in Sackerl would be taxed low. Austria wants to turn into a Faymann Kasperltheather?
But that's not all: Today's disgusting pandering to the Freedom Party has to be interpreted as a harbinger of a red-orange-blue coalition. Given the daily new Faymann statements in terms of changes in VAT in any case you wonder now: What is reality? Just a few days ago had a social Minister Buchinger Change in the VAT on all the required food. "From a restriction on certain basic food, I think due to lack of practicality nothing" (September 4, 2008). Suddenly today we speak with the Social Democratic Party believes that exceptions had been targeted for specific products from the very inside of the SPÖ. This is once more absolutely incredible.
