Con datos actualizados de 2022, si en España ingresas más de 30.000€ estás en el 35% de personas con mayor renta.
Para estar por encima de la mediana solamente necesitas ingresar 23.500€ brutos anuales
Only 38% of people in Spain who earn over €30k are in the private sector.
So that´s 62% from Papá Estado, if I have this right.
Next question then is where does Papá Estado get the money from?

Another day, another "I hope no-one is Ireland actually believes we are the second richest country in Europe" chart. More than three times riches that Spain. I believe the phrase is "go on up the yard".
Here is a stat for you this morning; Ireland’s population grew by a staggering 31 per cent between 1996 and 2016. That´s one third, from 3.62m to 4.78m in a country with a century of immigration. Yet support for EU membership is almost 90% and no wacko anti immigration party.

We are not a rich, successful and well run country if we cannot accept 25, 000 migrants when the population is 5,255,017 (2024) without falling over.
Saying we can’t do it is admitting that we’ve ve no idea what we are doing and are basically winging it until inevitable crash.

Nike hired McKinsey and well … they replaced things that were working but were hard to measure for things that did not work but were easy to measure
Here’s the case study.

Here's a 21 year veteran of Nike making a case for why the company has been on a decline:
Before Brexit, small e-commerce companies were allowed to sell to 450 million EU consumers using their UK VAT number. 27,000 of them will now have to register for VAT in each EU country they sell into at an average cost of £28,800 a year or stop exporting”

But the thing about Blair is that he actually did invest in public services. Social security also became more generous— particularly for children and pensioners.”

This is not Blairism. This is something far, far worse."
