Skylakakis: «We are not reducing fuel taxes because it would favor the wealthy.»

Deputy Finance Minister Theodoros Skylakakis explained why the government is not reducing the fuel tax. «The poor don't have a car, so the rich will be favoured.» No, it's not a joke. That's exactly what he said.

«The poorest households use much less fuel because they do not have a car. Poor households don't have a car, how can we?; Most of the pensioners, too many unemployed and so on, don't have a car. And those who have two or three cars, who are not the poorest in society, will benefit the most. So, to make a tax cut that benefits the richest and leaves the poorest completely unprotected seems absurd», said on Parapolitika radio, the deputy minister of Minister of Finance, Theodoros Skylakakis.

Perhaps the above statement would have to be written many times to be believed, but fortunately there is an audio recording.

Yes, that's how much the intelligence of the world is underestimated by those who have never lived on minimum wage.
