The business owners are doing something very wrong. They are failing to recognize that their business is successful in large part because of the infrastructure in their country, the educated people they can hire, the healthcare, etc
So when you get money out of this, you pay your fair share of taxes, like everyone.
- logicchains 1y ago>They are failing to recognize that their business is successful in large part because of the infrastructure in their country, the educated people they can hire, the healthcare, etc Empirically that seems to be false, given the number of successful businesses created in Europe in the past couple decades is way way less than in the US or China, even though Europe has better infrastructure, education and public healthcare.
- Strix97 1y ago> Empirically that seems to be false Could you tell me on what data you are basing this argument on? I see this sentiment pop up in every related conversation but haven't seen the source of these claims. Could you help me out?

- kmlx 1y ago> their business is successful in large part because of the infrastructure in their country, the educated people they can hire, the healthcare Germany has Europe’s lowest share of entrepreneurs to workforce. So i guess the infrastructure, education and healthcare are not really factors. > So when you get money out of this, you pay your fair share of taxes, like everyone. this is already happening. people are paying their taxes. but Germany wants more than it’s fair. cherry on top: Germany has been in recession for… 3 years now?
