On the threshold of the introduction of the euro and around the turbulent first budget in euros, a simple question somehow arises: do we live in a state of lies, or are we simply accustomed to lies in the state? Understand - politicians, because they govern us. All that remains is for us to choose for ourselves - which is better for us.

GERB announced: “There will be no change in taxes for next year. The draft budget must be ready within six days.“ These six days have been skipped a little, but what happened to the taxes? The "dividend" tax is being raised from 5% to 10%!
Apparently, the Minister of Finance Temenuzhka Petkova, despite being from GERB, may not have understood something from “there will be no change in taxes for next year“.
It may turn out that this is a technical error in writing the budget. Something may have remained from the “draft“ and when it is considered in the hall it will be dropped...
But something else is interesting.
Currently, GERB - UDF, BSP - United Left and “There is such a people“ are in power. With the support of “DPS - New Beginning“, who, according to them, do not want anything: neither ministers, nor posts in ministries and agencies, nor regional governors. Nothing.
And here comes the main question: In whose election program of the above-mentioned parties is it written that tax “dividend“ will increase from 5% to 10%?
The question, of course, is rhetorical.
If a party writes in its election program that it will raise taxes – how many electorates will it gather? How many people will vote for it?
From “no taxes will be touched“ to +5% on dividend tax – what is this? No, it is not misleading the voter. This is “in the name of the well-being of the people and the state“!
