Reports on the news stated that Belgium was not prepared for the recent terrorist attacks because they don't have the money or the manpower. (Forget about the fact that they refuse to cooperate with either the French or American Intelligence Services.)
Don't have the money?????????
Tax rates are between 25-50%
Citizens pay 14% of income towards their 'Social Security" and employers contribute 35%
There is a VAT (value added tax) of 21% on nearly everything that Belgium citizens purchase with necessities taxed at 12%
In 2000, the United Nations said that Belgium was the 8th wealthiest nation in the world. (You would think that the UN could afford new computers to get us better statistics.)
Have you done the math??????????????
Belgium takes a majority of each citizen's wealth and then says that it is too poor to protect its citizens from terrorism.
And there is a law in Belgium that says that you cannot go after TERRORISTS after 9 PM.. You think that I am making this up?????
You are kidding me, right???????????
(Aside: A Belgium citizen was interviewed this morning on the news and when asked how Belgium could have missed all the warnings of terrorism by Turkey and other nations she replied, "Give us a break, you (American's) missed 9/11." Maybe the reporter should have told her that 911 was 15 years and a world away from today.)
So much to think about.
