Unless something unexpected happens – as well as I pray that it volition – the commencement batch of 50,000 of Czech businesses, mainly restaurants as well as hotels etc., volition live obliged to straight off study every unmarried payment from a consumer to the ministry building of finance led past times the Slovak-born nutrient manufacture billionaire, media mogul, a VIP ex-member of the communist party, as well as a quondam communist snitch Andrej Babiš (net worth over $3 billion).
The consumer gets a receipt as well as he or she – an amateur snitch – volition live able to post the receipt's ID to a server of the ministry building as well as verify that the payment has been reported past times the business. H5N1 motivation is that he may win a lottery for the amateur snitches. Andrej Babiš's quondam career of a snitch is seen inwards every aspect of this sick system. If the payment hasn't been reported, the human of affairs volition straight off human face upwards existentially threatening fines as well as other punishments that the government minister himself may determine nigh – or forgive. The police describe defining the EET things is a classic "rubber law" that may live bent past times the executive power. It's a similar form of a police describe that made Adolf Hitler the Führer.
This organization is meant to guarantee that the taxes from that payment – every payment – volition live sent to the government. Andrej Babiš, a fellow member of the real bottom of the Czechoslovak moral cesspool who would bring been executed inwards piece of cake 1989 if nosotros hadn't decided to brand our revolution inwards the "velvet" agency (for example, their dingy menage unit of measurement disinherited a relative who "dared to emigrate" from the communist Czechoslovakia, to emphasize how deeply into the communist leaders' aßes they are willing to climb inwards club to continue their undeserved advantages), as well as a guy who already owns most of the largest newspapers, volition bring access to all the data nigh every unmarried cash payment to every concern on the territory of Czechia, at to the lowest degree after all businesses are included into the organization inwards a coming yr or so.
The totalitarian monstrosity is called EET or "e-tržby" ("e-revenues"). The acronym translates equally the "electronic register of payments" or something of the sort. Republic of Croatia has been running the same thing nether the advert "fiscalization" (and the machine is called "fiskalna blagajna", a financial cash register). Republic of Hungary as well as Slovakia are half-running something of the sort but Czech Republic volition solely live the instant province running this materials inwards a full-fledged way. And y'all may come across that the countries that bring adopted this materials don't genuinely belong to the "core of the West". Republic of Croatia has seen no growth of the taxation revenue, lousy growth rates, as well as nigh 1/5 of the businesses were closed because of this policy that started inwards 2013 over there.
The justification of this policy is that "small concern owners are thieves" as well as all little businesses hence deserve a organization to forestall them from taxation evasion. Stupid, myopic employees similar this intend proposition along amongst the implicit "no employees are thieves". I volition hash out this "class struggle" later.
H5N1 decade ago, a similar organization of "cash registers" was planned. They would bring been to a greater extent than expensive machines that permanently as well as safely tape the payments, instead of sending them to the ministry building through the Internet. Needless to say, an overwhelming bulk of smaller businesses opposes the plan. The rare exceptions are existence shown inwards the media excessively frequently.
Now, at that spot are dozens of obvious reasons why it is a catastrophically sick idea. First, at that spot are the seemingly technical ones. Businesses volition bring to pay at to the lowest degree about $500 as well as sometimes much to a greater extent than 1 time for the tablet(s) or computer(s) as well as printer(s). They volition bring to install the applications – as well as likely pay much to a greater extent than to about companies doing these services. Almost none of the companies parasiting on this novel police describe serves for gratuitous then at that spot volition live about extra $50-like monthly fees as well as many people volition bring to pay for novel Internet connectivity, about other $50, as well as then on.
I am talking nigh these little fees because for tons of pubs as well as restaurants etc. (and at that spot volition live fifty-fifty to a greater extent than little self-employed people included into the scheme later!), these extra expenses volition live existential as well as volition only kill those who run them – because their running is already a form of charity. Babiš as well as the stinky scum backing him has already explained that all businesses that volition unopen volition live considered thieves, much similar the businesses whose income volition growth (because they must bring evaded taxes inwards the past, the "logic" says – field assuming that the growth is impossible). You must bring precisely the same turn a profit equally before, dearest the system, smack your lips, spit on your disappeared competition, as well as lick the rectum of Mr Babiš to live removed from the listing of thieves.
When we're making trips to the countryside, it volition all of a precipitous larn much harder to notice a eating theatre where 1 tin hand notice bring a lunch, as well as then on. The businesses must live genuinely angry but I am sufficiently angry already equally a consumer. In early on 1990s, I wouldn't bring believed that something similar that would live proposed past times a parliamentary party inwards my lifetime again. Well, I bring clearly been an optimist for much of my life.
For many businesses, the skills needed to run the gadgets volition live fatal, too. All the concern owners volition genuinely live required to bring an electronic signature. I've understood all the maths behind the electronic signature at about signal inwards my life. But I bring forgotten as well as to a greater extent than to the point, I bring no intuition what the operate amongst the electronic signature requires inwards practice. What would I produce amongst it if I were obliged to bargain amongst this junk? I am arguably non a consummate idiot but this sort of materials volition live basically required from 80-year-old women who are selling woven baskets or sweaters somewhere on the countryside markets, too.
It's just utterly insane. You can't expression all citizens of a province to live familiar amongst things similar the electronic signature, hashing, etc. Even if y'all instruct them "what to do" without expecting that they empathize "what's happening inside", at that spot volition live lots of risks as well as problems. Something may intermission as well as they volition live inwards a large trouble. Small concern owners or self-employed people don't bring to live an intellectual elite. It's just a agency of life – a freer agency of life that was reclassified equally the "cooler one" 1 time again inwards 1989 as well as that ultimately generates most of the progress inwards the economic scheme (and all large companies had to start equally little ones – which is why Babiš's mental attitude dismissing little companies is just a reflection of his existence a šitty entrepreneur who tin hand notice solely operate equally a boss of a socialism-style monopoly where stagnation is practiced plenty to survive) as well as I am terrified that about people desire to provide us earlier 1989 as well as maybe brand the hurdles for the people doing their operate independently higher than they were during communism (because during communism, y'all could genuinely hire a somebody plumber or anything similar that, they didn't pay taxes for the operate at all, as well as it was largely tolerated because the commies knew that millions of people would live angry because they didn't bring practiced alternatives; these officially invisible contracts were called a "melouch" or a "fuška").
song of the angry men, regardless of views of Babiš's stupid sheep.
