Monsieur Dussey ,je te conseille de lire ” O Jerusalem” de Dominique Lapierre . Tu verras comment la diaspora juive ont construit. l’ Israël dès 1949.
En résumé, la diaspora juive faisait rentrer en Israël toutes sortes de machines à outils, des camions, des matériaux de construction etc…etc… Sans rien verser à la douane. Tout était exonéré de taxe. Celle des USA ont déménagé tout une usine d’armement laissée à l’abandon vers l’ Israël. Des tracteurs abandonnés en Allemagne, Autriche, France ont trouvé vie chez eux.
Des machines de fraisage et de tour abandonnées en Allemagne ont trouvé une nouvelle vie chez eux. Allez hop! Au travail ! Aujourd’hui vous faites allez- retour en Israël pour mendier , vous croyez qu’ils ont fait la magie ? Laissez nous construire notre pays… Favorisez nous la tâche, ce n’est pas les taxes de 2000f et 30.000f que vous prélever sur nos déodorants et téléphones de 1€ qui changerait la donne. Arrêtez de voler les investissements de la diaspora . Arrêtez de détourner et de s’accaparer les biens meubles et immeubles de la diaspora.
Soyez rigoureux avec ces hauts fonctionnaires corrompus qui s’accaparent des biens d’autruis.
Voilà !
Dans le cas d’Israel il faut dire qu’il y avait des puissances qui voulaient vraiment les voir reussir, contrairement a nous ou on veut notre echec.
La taxe sur des produits comme telephone, … non urgent pour le developpement est neccessaire et important pour le pays si au moins 40% de l argent peuvent atterir dans les caisses de l’etat.
Ds caisse de l’état ou de faire?
