Latvian Fiscal Stimulus Package
Client Heine blogs that several hundred blonde women marched through the Latvian capital Riga yesterday in a bid to cheer up the crisis-hit Baltic nation, suffering the worst recession of all 27EU member states.
A wonderfully patriotic act.

Yes Murray, though he make a small point. Doesn’t mention their housing bubble and getting their exports hit by the recession though, but then they relied on investment from Europe which is also doing it tough, maybe it’s their fault…um, oh dear, what?

I see Stephen, so their “boom” was caused by their flat tax policies, the bust was caused by factors totally nothing to do with that!

Stuffed if i know, that was my point, though perhaps it wasn’t clear.

Who would have guessed that “Go Blonde” meant the same in Latvian as it does in English.
Actually it is “Go Blondine”!!

Sonic, um no. Flat tax exists in Czech Rep and Slovakia and they are continuing to do well, growing faster than NZ and barely any damage from the recession. I spoke about the NZ tax system in East Czech Rep last year and it was unanimous in the room that they felt better off there than if they went to NZ.
But keep on fishing you sad angry little man.
