A comparison of tax rates in the OECD by Mohammed Walji

A critical component for the elite of the current nation state is the statist and populist desire to control the resources of production and to manage the distribution of wealth and to a lesser extent consumption. This has meant that in the West we have seen an increase in the practice of private property (income streams) and capital (taxation, regulation, foreign investment controls, regulation and control of key industry sectors, FDI limitations), expropriation by the state. These ‘borrowed’ monies are then redistributed in various guises to the working classes, the old, those below certain income ranges, people in certain regions, state sponsored industry sectors, health and welfare programs, and state building programs of all sizes and shapes.

The degree and measure of state control and management of resources varies across nation states. The trend is however clear – increasing state ownership of the economy. Governments in the EU control on average 47% or more of the economy. This is a remarkable progression from the turn of the 20th century when its share was less than 10 percent. The impact of such a system on democracy, political processes, individual freedoms, and liberties is a source of great debate. Not even Marx would have envisioned such a system of egalitarian re-distribution and sharing and concern for marxian class dogma.

Government Tax Revenue as a % of GDP - 2005

OECD Average 39%
United States 29%
Britain 37.4%
Australia 31.5%

Statist/EU
Japan 28%
Germany 38.4%
France 45.4%
Netherlands 43%
Sweden 53.2%
Denmark 49%
Norway 41.9%
Canada 37.2%
EU Average 43.6%


Real Government ownership of the economy - % of GDP

OECD Average 45%
United States 32%
Britain 45%
Australia 34%

Statist/EU
Japan 31%
Germany 46%
France 49%
Netherlands 48%
Sweden 56%
Denmark 53%
Norway 46%
Canada 43%
EU Average 47%

The second table takes the OECD ‘statutory’ tax rates [first table] and factors in government income taken from indirect taxation – namely regulations that would accrue an additional 8-12 % of GNP on average to the government’s revenue base. This number also captures the power embedded in government ministries that monitor, manage or regulate vast monopolies in the energy, resource, health care, telecommunications, agricultural and utility sectors, as well as government ‘businesses’ that are government organs but not formally included in government revenue.

In essence the ‘statutory’ tax rate is a sham.

Such statist interference in economic matters is incompatible with the principles of globalization and international liberalism that is commonly and erroneously viewed as being underwritten exclusively by the United States. It is commonly accepted that the maximum size of government should not exceed about 30 % of GDP. Only the Anglo Saxon powers, Japan and Canada are close to this level. Again it must be kept in mind that the stated tax rates are below actual tax rates, so Canada’s 43% of GDP taken by government for instance, is quite a bit above the optimized level of 30%.

One study has explored tax rates, revenues and economic growth for 103 countries and found that economic rates of growth are maximized when government takes no more than 19 % of GDP. Others found that government consumption had no direct effect on private productivity but lowered savings and growth and found a negative correlation between government consumption and GDP growth. Another study found that for each 10 % increase in government expenditure there is a .7 % drop in GDP. It has also been suggested that 80 % of government expenditure in rich countries is spent on programs that do not have any positive effects on economic growth. Increasing debt and taxation levels and the continuance of economic growth and productivity to pay liabilities pose unique challenges for many nation states.

Besides the increasing levels of taxation the mix of taxation and its components is slowly changing as well. These changes reflect a general tendency towards ‘hidden’ taxation or taxes on consumer consumption taxes on retail items, social security taxes and corporate taxes. As well user fees, which are not accounted for in this chart, are used by governments as alternative revenue sources, though they do not ‘technically’ count as taxes.

Tax Structures in the OECD Areas – Average and Percentage Breakdown 2005 - % of total:

Personal Income Tax 26
Corporate Income Tax 10
Social Security Contributions 25
Payroll Taxes 1
Property Taxes 5
General Consumption Taxes 18
Specific Consumption Taxes 12
Other Taxes 3
Total 100

Personal and Corporate income taxes remain the most important source of revenues for most nations and in five countries – Canada, the US, Australia, Denmark, and New Zealand – the share of income taxes in the tax mix exceeds 45 %. Importantly in the past 25 years there has been a marked shift in most nations in the growing importance of Social Security Contributions due to higher unemployment, ageing, and health care spending. Only Australia and New Zealand have no revenue from social security contributions while in Germany and the Netherlands it makes up 40 % of Government revenue.

Social Security Contributions 2005 - % Of Government revenue:

United States 23.3%
Britain 16.4%
Australia 0%
Ireland 13.6%

EU/Statist
Japan 36.5%
Germany 39.0%
France 36.1%
Netherlands 38.9%
Sweden 28.1%
Denmark 4.6%
Norway 22.5%
Canada 14.3%

In general the Anglo countries [and Korea] finance a much greater part of social benefits from general government revenues and the scope of their social security programmers is smaller. Social security contributions represent a major share of total tax revenue in most EU countries. Only in Denmark and the Netherlands does the employee pay the majority of such costs, in the rest of the OECD the employer typically pay 66% or more of such costs.

A reliance on social security to fund government revenues has of course has a huge impact on the economy. By ramping up social security taxation, the costs of labor is markedly increased, business competitiveness is reduced, and the rigidity of labor flow through ossified labor laws is enhanced further distorting the wage [or price] of labor in the market. None of these inefficiencies is conducive to create a dynamic and flexible economy.

'Competitiveness', whilst on the lips and in the speeches of every prominent populist politician is however a secondary and rather minor consideration. The first priority of politicians is to get elected and use tax payer money to win over voters. Any reforms to improve 'competitiveness' would in general, derange the implementation of this primary concern.

It is difficult to understand the widespread mis-belief cited as a fact by most media outlets, and supported by academics with theoretical frameworks (such as Harvard’s Rodrik), that globalization is destroying welfare regimes across the West. In Sweden for example tax revenue accounts for 57 % of the GDP, in Canada it has increased 25 % in the past 10 years, and in Denmark the percentage is now at 53 % up from below 50 % 10 years ago. Interestingly these 3 countries are some of the most open, and trade dependent in the world. The theory that national welfare regimes are under attack through globalize trade is unsubstantiated.

Clearly in the West, government ownership and re-disbursement of incomes and regulatory costs are intimidating. It is not fathomable to conclude that globalization will compel nation state institutions to reduce their control over their domestic economies. Witness EU states - supposedly all flocking together in 1992 to force market liberalisation to improve their economic futures by reducing statist control. Almost the opposite has happened.

There are two reasons why nation ‘statism’ and its statist structure will persist in power even in the face of globalization. First, there is a limited nature to globalization and secondly there are well defined interests in each country which will reject or at the least reform globalization's impact on nationalism, so-called 'national values', local structures and cultural institutions. In this regard we should expect that tax rates and spending increases will only escalate, not decline. The only real debate on the tax increase is from where will it come? Will it be from general taxation; consumption taxes; personal or corporate taxation or via social security payments?

3 Secrets For Choosing The Right Tinnitus Treatment by John Currie -

You've heard about the amount of scams on the internet, right? So have you any idea how you should go about deciding on a trustworthy supplier when you are surfing the web in search of a tinnitus treatment?

When you are dealing with a so-called incurable condition such as tinnitus, is it possible to make an assesment that will correctly determine which site is good and which is garbage? Why is it that ordering a tinnitus treatment via the web can be so scary?

Tinnitus treatments via the web

There is no known cure for tinnitus but yet nowadays there are literally hundreds of vendors claiming to have 'the cure' and funnily enough they all market their so called tinnitus cures via the internet.

Using Google in your search for a tinnitus treatment?

If you do a Google search for the term 'tinnitus treatment' and you will instantly be overwhelmed by choices. Lists and lists of advertisements appear announcing any number of websites with cunningly crafted words enticing you to visit their site and get an instant tinnitus cure using their amazing tinnitus treatments or you get your money back!

Who could resist an offer like the following?

'Discover The Mind-Blowing ‘Secret’ That Will Effortlessly WIPE OUT Your Tinnitus Like Magic - Plus This Treatment Works So FAST! That You Will Feel Normal Again Within Hours!'

How can you lose with a tinnitus treatment that is so efficient at what is does?

Guaranteed tinnitus relief or your money back, this has to be just what you need.

It seems obvious that no doctor or ENT ever looks at Google, else how could they tell you to 'live with it?' All that education and they don't even know that there are all these tinnitus cures and treatments out there, all you have to is look on Google.

Tinnitus Treatment Options

There are laser tinnitus treatments, vitamin treatments, herbal treatments, homeopathic tinnitus treatments, hypnotherapy, meditation therapy, books, CD's, DVD’s, yoga - and all of them making these claims that there treatment will rid you of your tinnitus.

Can they be believed?

How can you make the right choice with such a bewildering array of treatments available for your tinnitus? Especially as they all offer money back guarantees and have helped unbelievable numbers of tinnitus sufferers!

Take A Step Backwards In Time...

In the dark old internet days of December 1999 that same Google search for 'tinnitus treatment' would have only have returned a few websites offering treatments for tinnitus. So back then there were two or three companies offering tinnitus treatment but today there are hundreds...

And all these tinnitus treatment breakthroughs all came about without the knowledge of the medical fraternity?

Can you actually believe that the medical world has not heard of these treatments?

Isn't it more likely that the owners of the websites marketing these so-called miracle cures and treatments for tinnitus are simply a bunch of clever marketers that have identified a market and are exploiting tinnitus sufferers for gain?

Do you think that could be a possibility?

Dis you answer in the affirmative? If so how can you possibly find some relief for your tinnitus given all the possible scam websites you might have to sort through?

Here are some suggestions which will help you. Follow these simple steps and you will definitely be able to make the correct decision as regards a treatment for your tinnitus.

1] The company should have a proven track record supplying tinnitus treatments.

One way of deciding on a particular tinnitus treatment is to only deal with a company or website that has 'stood the test of time' By that I mean you should only consider dealing with well established people that have been supplying treatment products to help with tinnitus for many years.

* This way you can be sure that they are legitimate companies.
* You can establish that they have a proper support system that will reply to your email or telephonic questions.

You will always find that these companies are far more likely to have a product that will help actually your tinnitus.

2] Call them on the telephone.

I know it is an internet transaction you will be making but as a rule, if you can contact them in person you KNOW that they are legitimate.

You must be able to speak to a person who is knowledgeable about tinnitus treatments, not just some sales person.

If you get no answer or leave a message and get no reply, forget them, cross them off your list. They are not worthy of your time.

3] Ask them questions about the tinnitus treatment.

Talk to them about their tinnitus treatment, how they came to be marketing tinnitus related products, how long they have been in the industry and also try to get some type of success ratio for their products as they relate to tinnitus relief.

You can normally get a feel about what sort of company you are dealing with by carrying out these three simple steps.

You have enough to worry about already - go that extra mile and you will be well on the road to finding the right tinnitus treatment.

To conclude, you know that there is no quick overnight cure for tinnitus, so do not believe the fancy words, slick marketing messages and impressive looking websites.

Follow the steps above, then go with your gut feel, use common sense and you will more often than not end up with the right tinnitus treatment that will actually help you in your quest for tinnitus relief!

John and Ellen Currie have been supplying a successful tinnitus treatment via their tinnitus help and advice website since 1999. Visit http://www.t-gone.com for your FREE tinnitus report that includes a list of drugs that cause tinnitus.

Weak Legs? NYET! Try Our New Russian Squat Routine by Dane Fletcher

The legs generate the most productive power in weightlifting, and in all athletics, really, over a small range of motion at the knee, hip and ankle joints. There is a lot of power, in other words, packed into a relatively small range of motion, so making the best of each repetition is crucial to leg development, power, strength and speed.

We remember watching Vasily Alexiev win the gold medal back in 1972. The guy was a phenomenal lifter. So impressive was this guy and his strength and technique and overall aura as he hoisted ungodly weights, you half expected him to start bleeding out all over the mats, or die of an exploding heart, for the kind of gut-busting, vessel bursting effort he put forth in each clean and jerk and deadlift. Those Russians know what time it is when it comes to physical pain, suffering and brute strength.

Now you may not want to become a hairy, ugly Russian anytime soon, but you DO want something Russian lifters have in spades: Amazing legs and the brute strength to accomplish it!

Make no mistake, we won't candy coat it... Building amazing legs takes dedication, intelligence, pain, nosebleeds, headaches, a decent amount of anabolics, and the ability to burst through a wall of overload and overwhelm to get the job done, workout after grueling workout. Puking is just the half of it! Mental focus and due diligence is even more a part. But it's more than that... It's about employing all you know into a meaningful routine that neither under trains nor over trains, and always keeps the body straining toward change.

Truth is, the way to make legs grow is to increase the overall 1RM. In this routine, you're going to be shooting to increase it by 5% by training three times a week for a cycle of 6 weeks, alternating light and heavy training days.

Remember, the legs are resilient and can take a brutal beating. Don't worry about overtraining. In fact, you're probably among the legions of guys who think that you do. Truth is, you probably haven't even scratched the surface of overtraining with legs, since most back off long before it ever happens.

A word of advice and caution...

Natural lifters need to be careful, but can adjust weights to reflect a more conservative approach to training and recovery. You anabolic lifters, however, need so much more punishment than you ever give your muscles.

For the following, choose a lift for each of these values - totaling 3 lifts per workout. Squats should be the mainstay of what you choose, but also use plate-loaded leg extensions, hack squat and leg extensions.

Note: When you see a number without a x something, it means a 1 rep lift.

So 70% 2 = 2 sets of 70% in one rep.

Week One

Monday Wednesday Friday

70% 2 70% 2 70% 2

100% 2x2 80% 2x6 105% 1

The idea of the routine is to build volume while increasing intensity. Intensity that is slowly built up is the most beneficial because it leaves you someplace to go and minimizes injuries. So for those of you not looking for strength gains and purely aesthetics, you'll need a different routine. Just remember, where there is a gain of strength, via intensity and workload, there is also an appreciable gain in overall mass in that area. Want the mass? Gut out this workout!

And keep in mind, it isn't going to be easy. Performing 5 or 6 sets of 6 reps with 80% of your 1RM is hard. It may be impossible for those of you who have not lifted over a period of years. Adjust accordingly and remember that this is something to work toward.

If you reach the mid-point of the total workout, or the third workout day in the week and you cannot maintain those percentage max's, then you can adjust them accordingly to reflect where you are in relation to what is recommended. If you can't lift something, all the intensity in the world means nothing. It needs to be lifted in order for your to benefit. Our point? Use your head and common sense to alter the workout if need be.

You can also alter these percentages, based on your level of experience and the exercises you have chosen. We wouldn't advice the same intensity for leg extensions as for squats. But if you can handle the heavy load and all the intensity that goes along with this routine, go for it! Just know that nothing is etched in stone in terms of relativity of weight, people, lifts and experience.

Note: Don't do this routine longer than 6 weeks. And do it only once or twice yearly, as it is highly intense and you don't want to blow out knees or other joints because of too much repetition. Rest is also crucial here, and you must take as much rest as it takes for you to function in the next movement.

Volante POS Systems and UBC Install Complex School Point of Sale Solution by Derek Meade

The University of British Columbia is a huge place, comprising of some 402 hectares. Surrounded by ocean and snow capped mountains, the campus is blessed with stunning views from every vantage point, and is home to over 43,000 undergraduate and graduate students. Spending a day on campus is like visiting a small city - UBC boasts literally dozens of food and beverage and retail venues. To say that the technological requirements of an institution such as UBC are complex would be an understatement to say the least.

In the past, the technology linking all those venues was a plethora of different technologies and topologies, comprising of a mix of old style cash registers and rudimentary point of sale systems spread throughout the university on multiple subnets. The challenges of such a system are many. From inefficient data reporting, to complicated meal planning, from out of control wastage to long lines and delays in processing payments, UBC was desperate for an efficient and flexible enterprise system that could streamline operations. The goal was to implement one system that could not only save money, but also generate revenue, while managing the school’s many different residence meal plans at the same time. The system needed to be very reliable, and in real time.

Sean Lee, IT Manager at UBC, comments on the technological challenges UBC used to face. “The old system used to lump all the data together, and it was difficult getting reporting from all the different systems.” Lee explains. “We couldn’t isolate daily sales if polling wasn’t done regularly. And even then, daily sales were often tabulated manually.” In the past, data polling was a 30 minute affair through a dial up connection, which could only be done during a quiet period of the day, so as not to interrupt operations. Employee errors were often missed or not easily discernable. Without the ability to synchronize all that data quickly and easily, with an accurate data management system, UBC knew that it was leaving money on the table.

System reliability was also a great concern. With the old system in place, system failure was common. “Processing 2500 students in an hour and a half used to cause database overload.” Says Lee. “Our old system had lots of hiccups.”

After exploring several possible point of sale systems, UBC decided on Toronto based Volante POS Systems. “In addition to being able to handle our diverse needs, Volante was Canadian based. That was important to us.” Lee adds. “We were also looking at significant savings on maintenance costs.” However, it was Volante’s flexibility that sealed the deal.

Volante is developed in pure Java. Java is the most flexible and state of the art programming language and unlike any other system, is cross platform compatible and operates in multiple environments. With JavaPOS, users have the freedom to choose Windows 2000/XP, Linux, or Windows and Linux together as operating systems. The installation at UBC involves a mixed Windows/Linux topology, and includes wireless. The wireless feature is of particular interest to UBC, considering the size of the campus and the logistics of linking so many different venues. “Four or five of our locations are now wireless.” Says Lee. “This has benefited us a lot.”

Data Reporting
Volante addressed all of UBC’s data reporting concerns. In the instance of poor data management, Volante offered clear and concise reporting with Data Synchronization.

Polling data involves selecting proper data then storing it in some sort of format. The data is then transferred using a protocol to a centralized location and stored. A process then retrieves the data on the server, interprets it and extracts it to a database.

There are many different steps involved in data polling, meaning there are many steps where a problem can occur. Data is too important for any problems to occur. That’s where Data Synchronization steps in.

Data Synchronization eliminates all the steps of the middle layer by enabling databases to talk directly to each other. A single connection from Database 1 to Database 2 is established and outstanding data is sent asynchronously between them. Establishing a connection is a one step process thus eliminating any problems that can occur in-between. And because Volante is written in pure Java, all the information needed is generated in real time, quickly and easily.

“Volante has helped tremendously – everything is on demand in real time.” Says Lee. “Having data in real time is a big deal to us. Synchronization is done every fifteen minutes. We can now see what our best sellers are, at any time of day. We can order food much more efficiently, and we can easily see what items aren’t selling too. We can also update menus on the fly.” Lee adds that having such concise data on demand also contributes to spotting employee errors quickly. “It’s now much easier to see what kind of mistakes cashiers might be making, errors which might translate into profit loss.” He says. “Cashiers can now quickly isolate and find problems – it’s now really easy for us to pull up a transaction. “ UBC has discovered another added benefit to identifying employee errors. “It helps us identify training issues.” Says Lee.

System Reliability
Businesses desperately need an enterprise POS system that won’t crash. Volante solves this problem in an innovative way - by utilizing peer-to-peer technology.

Volante is not based on the traditional Server/Client model. Volante’s peer-to-peer system is designed to allow all terminals to work independently, ensuring continuous operations even in the event of a network or host computer failure. Peer-to-peer decentralizes the responsibilities customarily given to the server and distributes the task among the peers. All clients have the ability to publish services and instead of requesting a server to perform work, clients can request the work to be done by any of its peers. Thus a server is not even required for normal client operations. Volante’s advanced data synchronization capability and transactional consistency is maintained on all terminals at all times. The result is maximum system availability. No other point of sale system on the market can do this. Volante’s system reliability has proven to be a great relief to UBC’s IT Team.

“We’ve had Volante in place for three years and no data has ever been lost.” Says Lee. “I can’t say the same thing for the old system.”

This is because of Volante’s Redundancy Management System. Once data is entered into the system, its integrity is immediately protected. With other POS systems, server failure leads to an entire system crash, bringing operations to a halt.

However, Volante’s unique implementation allows all terminals to be connected yet function independently, ensuring that business will continue to run smoothly in the event of a terminal or server failure. Few, if any, POS systems on the market today offer this “fault tolerant” solution.

Revenue Generation
Another reason that UBC chose Volante Systems was its ability to do more than basic point of sale. UBC also utilizes Volante by monetizing its student ID cards. By monetizing ID cards that are already in place, UBC is able to manage it’s residence Meal Plan program much more effectively. UBC had faced many challenges in being able to accommodate its different meal plans. Now, students simply have to swipe their ID cards in order to pay for meals in any of UBC’s numerous food and beverage venues. Sean Lee elaborates. “ID cards are dining membership cards, they now have unlimited buying potential. Anyone can add money to his or her ID cards at any POS terminal. This is really efficient.” Purchases are not limited to food and beverage however. ID cards can also be used in UBC’s retail outlets. Customer balances can now be checked immediately, allowing staff to identify discrepancies right away, without having to make the customer wait.

Not only is this system highly efficient, but having a state of the art technological solution for managing meal plans also greatly aids in meal tracking, planning and ordering, therefore virtually eliminating shrinkage and waste.

Another way that UBC increases revenue is through the use of Gift Cards, all managed by Volante. In the past, UBC had used paper vouchers for gift certificates, making tracking on spending difficult. Now, gift cards can be easily processed for not only students and faculty, but for all visitors to the campus, including conference delegates. Cards can be used at all food and beverage and retail outlets on campus. To date, Volante has processed literally thousands of gift cards. “This has really worked for guests and visitors to the university.” Lee adds.

UBC has also seen increased revenues by removing barriers to spending. Volante’s integrated debit and credit feature, for instance, has proven to be very useful. “Integrated debit and credit has really increased productivity.” Says Lee. “Payments can now be processed quickly and easily, allowing us to bust lines really fast. It now takes 5 or 10 seconds for a transaction to process.” He adds, “On campus, debit is King.” Integrated debit and credit has also drastically reduced user error, resulting in more accurate daily totals.

Costs are further reduced by keeping UBC’s IT department lean. With the old system, UBC would often have to contract out IT help to come in and fix problems. Lee is pleased to mention that “we don’t do that anymore.” Volante also allows IT staff to respond to problems quickly and efficiently. “With Volante, you can see all your POS terminals at once. When one goes down, you can see it right away, you don’t have to wait for the call.”

From accurate, on demand data reporting, to simplified and efficient networking, from system reliability to revenue generation and cost control, Volante has stepped up to the plate at UBC. “Volante is doing a fine job handling our complex environment.“ says Lee. Taking point of sale to new levels, Volante is proof that other POS systems are simply old school.
