My Right Ovary Hurts, Why?

Carlos Sanchez article The Confidential :

A veteran business leader said some time ago there are no negotiations without liturgy. He meant that before each negotiating process involved always put foot on the wall, at least to the gallery, and declare to the four winds that will not yield an inch in their approaches. They say it solemnly, as if it were a revealed truth. But after a reasonable time, however, good principles are diluted. To the extent that in most cases you can apply that old aphorism attributed to Groucho Marx that their partners used to say: "If you do not like my principles, do not worry, I have others."

A regional financing something similar happens. Since the vice Solbes officially launched the debate back in July, all statements have been grand, but not a figure to put in their mouth. It appeared that before the end of the year, the citizens would know the Government's proposal, but lo and behold it reaches 2009 remains unknown and not a miserable figure, which is ultimately what matters to taxpayers. Many philosophy and many husks that only abounds in platitudes (global sufficiency guarantee or equity of the system), but in view of document presented yesterday by the Government to the regions is impossible to know the answer to three key questions: How much will the new system (it is absurd to talk of new model) Who will benefit more? and, above all, where it is heading a country that dwarfs every five years is the figure of the central state administration for the regions?

goes without saying that one of the best inventions that Spain has given birth in 31 years of democracy has to do with the existence of peripheral administrations that bring the action of government to citizens in different areas (local or autonomic). These good intentions were reflected in a somewhat incoherent, the military broadsword was there, in the 1978 Constitution, but the Title VIII helped the process START-autonomous. And there is no doubt that this country has taken a great leap forward in the last three decades at all levels. Thanks, among other things, territorial decentralization of public expenditure.

A model exhausted

This model, however, does not seem exhausted and overstretched in their current terms since it is generating all kinds of duplication and inefficiencies in public spending. Hence, it is necessary a new funding model that goes far beyond a simple allocation of money by the Minister of Economy of the day more or less arbitrary, and camaraderie are distributed in the regions. Uu money which, incidentally, has no central government, so to be financed through borrowing, which is a real nonsense. SMEs and families do not have sufficient resources to finance their needs, while the government saturate the international credit markets in search of liquidity. A great example of solidarity. That also means that billions of euros it costs the new system, intended to finance current expenditure, pay will not be raising taxes or reducing public spending, as would be reasonable, but the next generation will have to deal with these debts. Another example of intergenerational solidarity.

The worst, however, is that the new system goes a bit more in the dismantling of direct taxation as the backbone of State taxation. Instead of walking towards the creation of autonomous taxes, there is another bite at the income tax. Not only extends the assignment of income tax to 50%, but above all, the tax is frayed by increasing the regulatory capacity of the regions in matters as the minimum capital as personal or family policy fee deductions or tax scales modulation in terms of what each regional parliament to rule. Seriously endangering further market unity on fiscal matters.

income redistribution

words, instead of keeping an effective instrument for redistributing income and welfare throughout the country, choose its regionalization, leaving the state powerless to deal certain economic policy decisions. Especially if you consider that this is a huge tax with revenue-raising power.

seem more reasonable the existence of strictly autonomous taxes supplemented by contributions from the state to ensure a consistent quality of essential public services, which would have a double advantage. First, the regional tax would be more transparent and therefore more 'visible' to the public. As a result, local politicians would be required to stand up to their constituents on the level of taxation that applies to every territory. What happens now is that the 'barons' regional-of all political-hide behind the silhouette of madrid to hide their shame. Accusing the managers of the state of being harsh with social demands.

Instead of exploring this path, the Government has chosen to give birth to a complex system of financing that creates various funds tailored to the consumer. Rich regions ('more dynamic' according to the politically correct) have called the Competitiveness Fund, while the poor (now called lower relative wealth) will have access to a Partnership Fund, which must be added the current Sufficiency Fund and the Fund Inter-territorial Compensation.

As shown, the document presented today is a marvel of regional equidistance, but still does not solve the underlying problem: the lack of a definitive model can upgrade their basic variables automatically and not every five years. And, at the same time is able to establish the principle that spending is responsible for revenue, which would help eliminate many of the current wasteful. That is, something like a federal state.

will not be worth recalling that the current model (which has been updated to regional pressure shock) has done little to bring the income levels between regions , which says very little about their effectiveness. The seven regions in 1995 had a per capita GDP above the average (Aragon, Balearic Islands, Catalonia, Madrid, Navarra, Basque Country and La Rioja) continue in the same location twelve years later, according to data from the Regional Accounts. By contrast, the poorest are still there. In the well.

Despite the enormous resources that have come from the EU and the state in recent years, Ontario has cut just 3.5 points more than a decade on average (74.8% has gone to 78.3%), Extremadura is at 4.6 points (from 64.1% to 68.7%) and Castilla La Mancha is not only not improved but has been far from average. Of relative wealth equivalent to 82.1% in 1995, has fallen to 79.3%, which says little for the different funding schemes every five years cluck topics such as the guarantee of funding for basic services or the adequacy of the system .

How Much Would It Cost To Clean A Headstone

Bolmir The road to Reinosa: Will the Local Aid Fund to fix this road? The bank sends

Administration Minister Public Elena Salgado - also MP for Cantabria - made public makes few days the maximum amounts that may correspond to each municipality English [8102] the distribution of 8000 million euros from the Relief Fund for local investment and job creation, created by the Government. This fund is to increase the public deficit at 1.1% of GDP 2009.

According to this information to the City Council incumbent Enmedio Campoo of 690,608 euros. Some people have serious doubts that this measure would serve to increase investment and encourage the use of other citizens in unemployment situción rather think Keynesianism This measure will be diluted by the possibility that some of these funds serve to cover holes or municipal deficits, and pay invoices, to make works of process, unnecessary and useless to assign a finger works created ad-hoc business to snatch a share of the money, to give jobs to the unemployed client network, a function that should develop employment offices, mayors NO.

Since in Bolmir can be about 250 people we could be at least a cost of 44,250 euros to 177 euros per inhabitant. With that money I think the mayor, Mr. Children, could arrange a time to Reinosa Bolmir path appears to be within its competence, provided that is aware of it, I suppose that the Neighborhood Board will be informed of this necessity, and could concoct a work project to refer to government delegate, Mr. Ibañez.

For if it is not clear to provide details of the work that some residents want and that's what we know at the time the president of the government of Cantabria and the director Mr Revilla M. Mazon:

• Paved road with a width of at least 3 meters.
  

• works in the basement under the A-67 to eliminate puddles.

• works in the basement under the new road that links Ind. La Vega and A-67 for sanitation, lighting, elimination of leaks and dampness, building a slight slope to eliminate puddles and adequacy of disclosures.

• Construction of a new footbridge over the river Izarilla.

• determine if the road must pass through which was adjacent to the wall of Sidenor, and if agreements with Sepes and / or buyers of the plots to have the land. Otherwise buy land in the parcel adjacent to the northern facade of New Castilla doors - has not been built on it - where now provisionally elapses.

• Paving of the road in areas of the polygon.
  

Gaps all the result of inaction and inertia of our local and regional administrations.

Salgado Minister said that neighbors can keep track of the plan, to oversee the execution of works, so far from this blog, and if there was not budgeted in the budget for 2009 - ask Mr. Hijosa do the work under the aforementioned funds.

How Do Plastic Suction

Writer Carlos Segovia World Markets:

The heads of banks and Spain have shown that the boss, boss, and have gotten a tax cut in these times of austerity that run. It is true that the 2006 law that fixes was not ideal, but also other groups would want to change and do not get them. In addition, it has become so faulty and in time for the banking unedifying.

that morning of 31 October, the Bank of Spain announced, and formally, that Spain was entering recession and the Council of Ministers began its regular meeting with a diverse menu of royal decrees 19 and 32 agreements. The index

Green shared folder to each minister appeared a boring royal decree on the prevention of tax evasion and tax incentives for patronage. This index is the issues that need discussion in the Council, because there are cocinados.Y, hidden in a third final provision contained section two, so unintelligible, no Unless a tax cut from 43% to 18% of Income Tax of Individuals to obtain capital income in its financial institutions which run them. Shareholders is more than 1% stake in a large firm, members of the board of directors, senior managers and the whole family through third grade, uncles and nephews of the 180 banks, savings and credit unions in the country.

words, about 5,000 people, excluding relatives, among which are the highest paid in Spain.

Why such a discount? Everything comes from the tax reform undertaken by the then Secretary of State for Finance, Miguel Angel Fernández Ordóñez in 2006. Until then, everyone had to pay taxes all at up to 45%, but Mafo and his team decided that the capital income taxed at 18% and that the work they did to 43%. It was not very socialist, but had to hold capital in Spain to globalization. So if you buy stocks and sell in an hour, then 18% in income tax, you receive interest on your savings account, 18%, you are paid and earn more than 55,000 euros per year, 43%, my friend. Mafo

But made an exception. Continue taxed at up to 43% capital income received from their companies that sent them. That is, if you bought a Booty Santander bonus, because taxed by 43% and if you bought the rival BBVA, 18%.

The idea was to prevent those who had control over their companies take advantage of the loophole even disguised as capital income which, in reality, were bonuses. A bar owner could artificially lend money to the company and it was deducted 30% of the financial burden incurred while the owner smartass, taxed the interest received to 18%. As no one can control, to pay all the leaders, including bankers.

In 2006, when he was in the process of law, the president of the English Banking Association, Michael Martin, began to move to did not have to exempt those who sent in credit institutions, as the specialist sector. Solbes did not swallow then neither is he who was head of the PP parliamentary group, Eduardo Zaplana, who refused to submit the request for amendment proposed by the AEB. Yes supported Josep Antoni Duran i Lleida (CiU) and the Pio Garcia Escudero popular in the Senate, without success.

So did the 2007 fiscal year and all major shareholders and management of all entities in Spain, whether big banks or small woodworking companies had to continue paying taxes on up to 43% on capital income when they came from accounts , bonds or loans from firms, while his employees were already at 18%.

bankers have just endured a year. Solbes has already swallowed and with retroactive effect from January 1, to cover the full fiscal year, out of the ban "people linked to credit institutions." It feels like the other business leaders.

And so the day that Spain entered a recession, the Government considered urgent to "correct this anomaly" for the financial sector and reduced the tax to the highest paid in the country and its familias.No approved, however, such Colin Campbell's request that they remove the excessive tax burden on the money received dismissal in a redundancy.

addition, the bank cut key problem is done with so-a decree can not change the Income Tax Act as explained in this newspaper Felix Bornstein, and comes at a time of unprecedented public support to the banking and ugly news. For example, Bernard Madoff scam has brought to light a thousand English customers of Santander invested in a Bahamas-based fund - why not in Barcelona? - Entrusted by Optimal Madoff, a subsidiary of the bank Cantabrian in Geneva. Why not in Gijon?

BBVA has not been quite there, it went very bullfighter on the first day saying he had no risk, to recognize 48 hours after 300 million. But the worse off is Santander, with 2,330 million in losses for its clients and to articles such as The Wall Street Journal, emphasizing the family. Or the fact that Javier Botin, son of the president, is adviser to the bank and at the same time, competitor from M & B Capital Advisers with Guillermo Moreno, Ana Patricia Botin husband. The always restless

Booty sent Rodrigo Echenique press Madoff, although the risk is responsible Matias Rodriguez Inciarte-three days before his arrest. Willy Moreno has also taken two Madoff cafes in the last two years to personally know the guy I was hoping Bernard fondos.Pero todos.Y deceived Now the challenge of the entire financial sector to restore confidence. So it is so ugly a botched tax break for the dome. And on top of sly.
