They've been truly westernized, or is our politicians have taken to old KGB agitation?

Putin signed a bill into law that will zero out the planned increase of the VAT for this year only. The VAT is still in place.

It's like Republicans claiming to reduced the federal outlays, when they've really reduced the percent increase in the future years INCREASE in federal outlays.

It's easy to run an essentially socialist government on near zero taxes when your entire system is funded by state-controled oil revenues.

Unfortunately for us in the rest of the world, our money doesn't come from out of the ground.
