More brandstofaccijns for refugees to be able to pay

Because the gas is now so cheap, that we can best pay.

A few weeks ago we wrote already about it, but when it was still just a map of Germany. Now it seems as if we are really to be believed, the European Commission, the increase of excise rates on fuels also a good way to make some extra money to rake. And indeed, the peut cost so little, why should we not do that, you can hear them thinking…

Experience with the raising of the excise taxes we have here is enough. Think of the penny Kok and the annual indexing of the tax on fuel. And that produces enough. Approximately 60% of the price of fuel is already tax-and that’s more than enough, it seems to me.

But not for the European Commissioner Dombrovskis. Who embraced the German plan and see in the uitzuiging of the motorist is an ideal way to vluchtelingencrisis in each case, to be able to pay. And you know, if the EC is something in the head gets some money, go there, but from that it is soon going to happen. Resolve to do it, not, but anyway, we can now at least nice AZC’s build.

I find it a difficult matter. That money is needed to the current situation to cope with, it seems to me self-evident. But the motorists there pay for this? We in the Netherlands have the most money lost to get in our car to work to be allowed to drive. And without the populist to want to hang out, is it not wiser to the situation instead of only in simple, temporary solutions to think? But well, as it looks like we have to pay soon just once again the top prize at the pump. It seemed too good to be true…
