I'm sorry but I can not see why one should find any product with 70-80% of the price consisting of tax acceptable. And I'm afraid I can not follow that 70% of the income should be gone through the hands of the governement. I can see this e.g for the payout for either GmbHs and AGS but not for others. Anyway it's still very questionable why there are so harsh payments on pay-outs. This is still another ridicolous abuse of power.

I would accept a 70-80% price for fuel if the German government had the kindness to reduce overal tax-load in the total economy. The problem is that Germany has a ratio of state expenditure to gross national income of above 70% (more of 70% of real income is chanelled through the state). This system would have broken down long ago if it where not for the realtivly high saving ratio of the population.

I've commented extensively on Greens (or 'envirofascists', as Rothbardians prefer to call them): mises.org/.../search.aspx

It's too bad there is so little effort made to explore that corporate statism that motivates the Greens. Where would we be without government grants of limited liability to0 shareholders?
