Comment on Dutch Tax Authority hands US software company control over VAT system

Comments

The USA have repeatedly and unambiguously made it crystal clear that they are not a reliable partner, and that they should not be depended upon. They will abuse any leverage afforded to them, when and how it suits them.

Momentum will carry them for quite a while, but as a European, I hope we will move away from USA-dependence.

I could not agree more with this sentiment. The time has finally come to rid our public procurement tenders of these parasitic U.S.-American companies, which have always had as their primary goal the extraction of European tax payer funds at any cost, often stooping to downright bribery and corruption.

We cannot allow our public funds to go to the U.S. anymore. This is now a matter of national security.
