Is Venice Going to Secede?

8th April 2014

Read it.

If something is going to happen in Veneto, it won’t be an uprise of micro-nationalism: but rather, a tax revolt. You could describe Italy as a country where the North pays taxes and the South consumes taxes. This picture is painted with a wide brush, but it is not incorrect. The gap between the two parts of the country has been there for ages, and it did not narrow, in spite of the fluxes of transfers. It is only natural that economic stagnation exacerbates the problem.

    Well, the Italian north is more germanic, while the south is mediterranean.

    Obama better get busy importing some non-germanic stock into Iowa and Idaho, et al, or they may secede when the excrement hits the fiscal rotary oscillator, as it surely must at some point.
