Yeah it's better that government officials get paid millions of tax money annually, that's definitely more communist when officials can have private jets and have Foie Gras & Caviar smoothies for breakfast
Gotta give them money so they can't be easily corrupted.
What is that? They still get money from lobbyists? I'm sure it is just because they are swell people who businesses just want to support financially without any hooks attached.
Also, don't pay any attention to the ridiculous amounts of insider trading and politicians who become lobbyists when they quit politics. That is also just a coinkydink.
Okay? Why should I care what my ancestors were doing 200 years ago? Do you believe you should be held accountable for the actions of yours? I don't hold a grudge against my German friends for WW2 either.
Easy to point to those who invaded your country many centuries ago and blame them for everything wrong with it. You have enjoyed independence for many decades. Maybe time to look inward and fix your own problems instead of playing right into your dictator leaders hands by blaming it all on us. Or you can continue to whine about the west online while not changing anything.

Don't confuse me for an American. My government gets paid a fair wage and is among the least corrupt in the world.
If you're Dutch, didn't Lockheed Martin get away with bribing one of your politicians and they got away Scot free? Was their income not high enough?
You mean 60 years ago? Sorry, I wasn't born yet. Is that the most recent example you could find?
Edit: still no one has been able to come up with anything better
I mean there is also the whole monarchy thing, isn't that just legalised corruption for one family?
Why didn't you guys try the Robespierre or Lenin method? Are you stupid?
Our monarchy is a tourist attraction. The king holds no real power. We could get rid of it if we wanted to, but most people really don't care enough.

Have you heard of neocolonialism?
This, my friends, is an example of the problem of global dutchification. We must combat the Geert Wildersizing of the world.
