The Dutch Tax Police

Writes Michael W. Arnold: "I'm an American living in socialist Holland since I graduated from university about a year ago. Today, I saw an advertisement for the Belastingdienst, the Dutch IRS, which I just had to share. Ignoring the fact that the Dutch government is using my tax money to advertise the fact that I once again need to give them my money, I found the Belastingdienst's slogan particularly humorous.

NL: Leuker kunnen we het niet maken, wel makkelijker.
EN: Preferably we wouldn't have to do it, at least we can make it easier.

"Strange, a year ago the assumption that the government has to take a portion of my income wouldn't have bothered me at all. Now, thanks to LewRockwell.com and the Ron Paul Revolution, the thought sounds completely preposterous."
