Bureaucracy and wish of control is sinking european economies in my opinion. In Spain it is also a hell to do business, worse than Germany I think.

Many of the things that happen in Europe are the consequence of slow decisions, lack of capacity, yet the taxes are high. This is destroying the economy in a great measure, together with high tax rates.

In Spain for example, court is suuuuper slow, medical care is slower than before, we have a really relevant problem with property occupation, yet the law does not let you even put them out your own home and you have to pay the bills! Even a private company became really famous for doing this, that should be done by the administration.

To open a company, get ready...

And things are just getting worse, not better.

I hate bureaucrats, politicians and taxes with all my soul. I think they create a lot of problems.



Well, move somewhere where you don't have to pay taxes, but please don't complain about the downsides then.


Who said I would? I wouldn't. OTOH, in a midly civilized place, I do not see those disadvantages anywhere.

You just need people that have a mindset of mutual respect and following their word. Not much more.
