Madelon Vos wrote that the plans for the new box 3 system, which were announced last week, had caused unrest among politicians, savers, entrepreneurs, and investors. Although the capital gains tax was presented as a victory, she argued that small savers and investors would be the victims. Additionally, people would temporarily have to pay taxes annually on paper gains from bitcoin and precious metals, even if they had not sold anything. Vos also pointed to rising global interest rates and a greater interest rate differential between France and Germany. She wondered what that indicated about investor confidence and how much room governments still had if inflation and scarcity of raw materials further pushed up interest rates. According to her, the higher interest rates would also affect the real estate market: Dutch houses could depreciate in real terms next year. In an episode of Madelon Praat, she discussed how taxes, interest, and inflation impacted people's wealth. https://t.co/hVinv3HF4l #belasting #rente #inflatie (translated)

The #SaskiaKluit is a senator of #PRO. Earlier, as chair of the travelers' organization Rover, she showed sympathy for Extinction Rebellion, which occupied the tracks in support of the Palestinians. Now she finds it unacceptable that NOS gives a lot of attention to a "troubling incident," in which 180 people on an airplane escaped death. It is alarming that she talks about the "automated and industrial" killing of Palestinians. Kluit is a disgrace to the image of the Senate as a 'Chambre de Reflection' and a symbol of the complete decline of PRO when it comes to Israel. #politiek #Israël #EersteKamer (translated)

Het gaat er nog steeds over, en laat dat nou net de bedoeling zijn van D66. Daar waar je bij andere politici dit soort uitspraken aan 'impulsiviteit', 'heat of the moment' of 'ach, dat waren de emoties' kunt wijten, werkt D66 voor 100% geregisseerd. Er komt niets impulsiefs uit de mond van deze man, simpelweg omdat er niets uit kan komen wat er niet in werd gestopt. Bij D66 wilden ze ophef en afleiding, want ophef betekent meer publiciteit, meer aandacht en meer ruimte om de dingen te benadrukken die zij zélf willen benadrukken. En dat is alles behalve het landsbelang. Dus hoe dek je je eigen falen toe? Door een baggeruitspraak als afleiding te gebruiken. En alle media trappen erin. Ze zijn nog triester dan ik dacht. Ik begin bijna heimwee te krijgen naar Rutte en dat is niet gezond. Zó erg vind ik dit nep-kabinet met deze nep-premier. #KabinetJetten #D66 #D66 #Kabinet #Politiek
