New Building Inspection Checklist

Privacy? Ma il contribuente è in rapporto con i concittadini, not with the State

right to know who makes the smart or right to privacy? When a conflict emerges even remotely like that, a true liberal defends the right to know without hesitation. There are compelling similarities: we think only the right to know the budgets of our competitors, perhaps to conduct in the securities or the purchase of the company. Can you imagine a strange "privacy market"? What would happen if the financial statements of ' Alitalia were secrets? And even there we are names and surnames, with a lot of salaries. Come on, do not say nonsense " politically correct ", what kind of law is the "right to privacy"? It 's a minor law that must give way in the face of greater rights relating to public order, justice and the economy of a nation.
A true liberal, therefore, would be contrary to the decision of the Ombudsman considered that the exposure of illegal income of the Italians on the web, ... inadequacy of the medium. Strange this reason: I wonder if a law student would be promoted under consideration with a view like that. A document or is private or public, but in this case, especially in times of globalization of immediate knowledge, publicity follows the technological channels they want.
And then the web, is known to us liberals, is a wonderful bulletin at no cost. The poor ing . Stanca did much to modernize the relationship between the Administration and the Internet, and now a ruling all obscurantist reports on the high seas? No, so will not be able to block anything. You do not go against the use of technology.
What consolation is that not only the associations of consumer protection, but for once the great majority of Italians (at last not reactionary or corporate!) I agree with the disclosure of data. Unfortunately, there is the reverse of the coin. Psychologically it is a bad sign: it means that the vast majority is poor and forced to "honest". It has nothing to hide.
Wonder, however, that some sections of "liberal oxymoron," the so-called liberal-conservative center-right, have cried shame of violating confidentiality, as if they were spied on in the bedroom. But as they betray, ipso facto, revealing that even the blind have a little something sinister to hide. Other that the danger of kidnappings, Up do not laugh: which band will never go to scroll through the false, quite false tax returns? No, it is clear that the big worry is evasion or avoidance, now visible. Privacy

tax? But is not there that should reside the famous modesty Italy, that shameless ragged shame of our dear new bourgeoisie of the recently added, that neither the professional fee "black", nor a recommendation, or lace, or the contract made up, nor the vote-buying, or bribery in general, it seems offensive. I say unpopular things
? I do not think. Maybe I say things anti-aristocratic and anti-privilege. As a good liberal
Much of the political right has arisen with one voice, screaming and yelling. Also because one looked like a "gift" to watch the hated Visco, words as if the defeated army during the retreat had "poisoned the wells". But then his right-wing newspapers have published lists for the first indicted. But the Protestants mistaken, as I explain below. Have, please contact the patience to read through.
with us when we say "privacy" cat, there almost always hatching. It 's like a dead Neapolitan someone invites you to be silent: what would you think? Moreover, the law was to put privacy ahead of the Italians, almost to want to educate from Anglo, which are genetically immune to them, as is well known to anyone who frequent buses, trains, restaurants, bars, beaches and Italian roads. And therefore the guarantor of the neophytes fall into the ridiculous, see statements by the cancellation of the last digits of phone numbers called by ourselves.
In liberal democratic countries of the West, the United States in mind, anyone can look quickly and easily (and I suppose, given the modern media, now via computer) of the income of his neighbor, as the celebrity or politician's who has voted. But it will not, I think, almost none, for curiosity of the people is not as morbid as in Italy, pervaded the mindset of secrecy el ' hypocritical social shame of mold first Catholic towards money. In liberal countries Anglo-Saxon is "interest" of the citizen to know in advance the right and left, how high is your income. To have such social and economic credibility. In a pub in London once a chubby guy with whom I spoke began the discussion of jazz (he was an American, an Englishman would have been more discreet and more ... poor) saying once that he was one who earned not know how many hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

But even in Italy, this is a public directory for decades. I remember quand 'I was a teenager the newspapers published long lists of contributors in order of decreasing income, I do not know whether declared or found. E ' so a player could discover with surprise that the well-known jeweler officially earned a little over his head-clerk, or the lord of the top floor, crying poverty and traveled in 500, had a triple your income.
The so-called guarantor of privacy, the institution which I have always been contrary, the wrong doing of crabs off the search engine on the internet, showing how the average citizen to think Made in Italy , emotional and irrational. Too bad, because the service was not only useful but also typically liberal.
taxes, in fact, this appears psychologically odious everywhere, and never in Italy corresponding in our individual perception of the public services provided by the state (and for that we Liberals lagnamo us, rightly, because there is objective evidence of this scandalous inadequacy), only in appearance are a matter between the individual citizen and the State . The true subject is the community, not the individual. The word "taxpayer," recalls the ancient tribus where bands was divided by the Roman people. The tribes to pay jointly and severally. Natural then that will break in them, among the members, the total of the total burden.
short, the upstream tax is the amount that all the citizens, that the nation has to pay for the management of public affairs. a little like the bill in a restaurant: if someone is smart, and when paying disappears and goes to the bathroom, the other had to pay a bit 'more. It 's normal that every single one looks around and count how many guests and what they pay. I guess that's a function to be responsible citizens, a role of control from below typical liberal. Or would prefer to do it was the State?
is not, therefore, socialism or collectivism or late, or a particular sadism of that posthumous' antipaticone the Finance Minister Visco. As in agriculture - let the humorous analogy - rather than to chemical pesticides that kill all insects indiscriminately and poison the food, it is now increasingly being used to "biological warfare" against the pests by using predators of other insect pests.
Well, without going that far in the fiscal system of subtle widespread control based at least on simple knowledge, it would be non-invasive and even authoritarian-statist, but by the citizens themselves, and therefore truly liberal. Also because in this case a possible Mafia code of silence "respects the privacy" we turn against each and every citizen: pay more, even for the usual smart that if they enjoy it behind him.

Who, in total transparency Typical liberal systems where does the so-called "social control" spontaneous (always better than from an authoritarian socialist or fascist system, right?) - need to know if their fellow citizens contribute, in fact, whether or not the general collection. It is also a healthy self-interest: the more people pay what they owe, unless all pay. And even at the level of healthy competition between the public, there is an interest in the knowledge by the individual: if my competitor does not pay the correct taxes his company, his family, will compared to my advantage, since it enjoys the same services.
The fake "privacy" hairy side in a case like this, however, not può che nascondere furberie, truffe, corruzione, privilegi, pastette e magagne. Ed è profondamente illiberale.
