What exactly is Rutte’s vision of the NL? A more ruthless neoliberal version of the US where people not only have an extreme tax burden but have to pay for safe access to daily life in addition? 🧵
Why aren’t more people outraged that our collective tax money is being used to subsidize the extreme wealthy and friends of the Dutch government? Not only are they allowing this virus to spread, but capitilizing on our mass suffering on every aspect of this pandemic. 🧵2
Instead of distributing 50 years of FFP2 masks, bought with tax payer money, to all the hospitals, clinics, testing centers, nursing homes, and schools, they deliberately destroy it to protect “market interests”. WTF. 🧵3
Not only is Rutte et al capitalizing on our mass suffering from the pandemic, but making us pay taxes that will be directlh distributed to private interest groups that will further make us pay out-of-pocket — what the fresh hell is this? This is corruption. We’re being robbed🧵4
What exactly are we paying taxes for? Rutte et al continues to subsidize special interest groups with our tax money while our schools remain unsafe safe and our entire healthcare infrastructure is collapsing. This isn’t incompetence or capitalism — this is uncontrolled greed.🧵5
We no longed pay taxes to sustain our social democracy — Rutte et al is guaranteeing it's collapse; we are being extorted to contribute a large portion of our earnings to shadow special interests groups in control, and at the direct expense of our health and safety. 🧵6
I have no problem paying for taxes for our overall social prosperity — BUT that is not happening in Rutte’s pandemic NL. We all still have to pay for take home tests, access to vaccines and healthcare in other countries 🧵7
