That is the classic understanding of justice. People always put their personal wallet first. The highest level of justice is when you get more and the best - all the world's money. Envy is especially motivating - redistribution advocates cite as an anchor argument 'because he has more'!
@guntarsv What exactly seems fair to you there!? That is money for which taxes have ALREADY been paid. It is an even more shameless way of skimming money than capital gains tax and tax on lottery winnings.

Currently it has been reduced by 4 cents. The state budget already has a hole, which reduces the possibilities to finance even the health sector. Next year and the next 3 years, the budget hole is in several billion euros, someone will have to cut it off. The minus only gets bigger. Riches, believe? Those 4 cents do not solve anything individually, the rise in fuel prices is determined mainly by global processes. Can be torn down further, can even divide the country into Lenin's logs. What will we gain, where are we going? Quo vadis? Me, me and mine!

Inheritance tax seems fair (you didn't earn it), but economically it works destructively. This is an ever-present and well-known dilemma. If you know they will take it away (the Progressives have called for taking away even half of your savings), then in practice it promotes a culture of spending—blowing it all, because you only live once. Live it up. And as a result, a country with such a 'fair' policy accumulates less national capital, and that is one of the most significant factors fostering economic backwardness. If you're threatened with confiscation, capital goes off and grows elsewhere. Then they wonder—why do shops, factories, and technologies mostly belong to foreigners? Profit and capital go elsewhere, we're just wiped off. That's the dilemma. A choice between what's fair and what's prudent.
Milton Friedman on what happens when you have a very high inheritance tax: “What is the effect of a 100% inheritance tax? To encourage people to dissipate their wealth in high living.” “Where do you get the factories, the machines, the capital investment, the incentive to improve technology, if what you’re doing is to establish a society in which the incentive is for people who, if they by accident accumulate some wealth, to waste it in frivolous entertainment?”

Gladly. But on the other side there are expenses for priority areas. Excise tax + VAT finances practically everything, except pensions and the majority of the social package. No one agrees to reduce the money for themselves. Now on top of that, a whole bunch has been promised for the elections. The procedure is such that you first free up the spending side, then you can reduce any tax. And not the other way around.

Freshest interview for Polish television - Baltic security, Russia threat, Latvia's readiness and elections (below is link to the full interview on YouTube) https://t.co/fhlWTITYZa
“Russia is so involved and unsuccessful in Ukraine that it is incapable of opening another front.” Latvia’s Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs [@AndrisKulbergs] tells TVP World there’s no imminent military threat to the Baltic states. But hybrid attacks are a different story. He warns that elections in Latvia, Estonia and Poland are prime targets for Russian destabilization operations.
The US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York has approved the start of financial restructuring of Latvia's national airline airBaltic under the Chapter 11 procedure stipulated in US law, as confirmed by Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs (AS) after the government's approval.
"The next step is to immediately obtain funding to ensure the airline's operations, including employee salaries and fuel," the Prime Minister said.
Latvian PM Andris Kulbergs: "Just take one train ride to Ukraine and you come back and you understand we are on borrowed time. If we don't help and support Ukraine, we are on borrowed time and we need to use that time wisely." https://t.co/6Diyp1stbX
In spring and summer, when gas was still below €40, it wasn't purchased for winter, and weren't politicians' promises to give all the heat blown 'into the air' by Latvenergo to Riga Heat fulfilled? Then we get it! https://t.co/Qzs1Fjlmsk
Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev has claimed that Russia would exterminate Lithuania and that NATO wouldn't intervene.
"Lithuania will disappear from the map of the world." https://t.co/zC4sP4og87
In the Prosecutor's Office, for ~400 prosecutors, maintenance and changes to one system ProIS cost ~10.0 million € (LRP 2024/35 - SIA "ZZ Dats"). In general, ProIS is an ordinary process management system. It turns out per prosecutor ~25,000 € just for system maintenance. Procurement expert - Ainars Biders!

@liana_langa I agree, this needs to be addressed... but first I would suggest turning to the minister responsible for this field => Kozlovskis SatMin. If that doesn't work, then come to me, otherwise I'd have to make Kulbergs clones judging by the daily number of requests for problem-solving.
Dear Mr. @AndrisKulbergs, a big request to solve the road sign issue! For many thousands, the direction "MOSCOW" brings chills, without exaggeration! #DeRussifyLatvia
I can't seem to find any Latvian writing on this topic.

@liana_langa It's all simple there - yesterday the program with the party 'New Unity' was hosted by two people who were sycophants, because JV, in my opinion, controls LTV, but today an order came from above to discredit NA as much as possible, which both gentlemen did.
