> taxes on citizens
1% of VAT goes to the EU, yes.
> fines from companies created in more entrepreneurial environments than the EU can produce.
Mostly the ones that have actually been imposed (on GDPR) go to the national governments.
- philipallstar 1y agoSeems like we agree: you don't need to advertise when you can force money out of people through VAT and rent-seek your citizens as customers.
- grim_io 1y agoAre you against taxes in general, or what's up? I have no problem with it. I would even argue that the EU is under funded.

Like, the EU only has the powers given to it by national governments, 1% of VAT is probably too low tbh as there's a bunch of stuff that would be better solved at EU level. The politics around that are pretty tricky though.
