Grillo and its derivatives

To understand how poisoned the wells have been, I propose this brief exchange taken from the blue social toilet:

Ambruosi's intent is clear: to credit the demagogic idea of ​​the parliamentarian who "does not work". Too bad it went wrong with me:

Of course! Because that reform is also my work , something that Ambruosi was unaware of. Unworthily, I have the honor of having brought to that table, obtaining them with patience and a minimum of political ability, the abolition of IRAP for taxpayers natural persons and an extension of the no tax area also for the self-employed (on the left they wanted to intervene only on deductions of their presumed constituents: employees and retirees). It is useless, indeed: very useful, to reiterate that I would have achieved nothing at that table if I had not had the formidable team of the tax department behind me: Bitonci, Cavandoli, Gusmeroli and all the others. It is superfluous, indeed necessary, to point out that my party had sent me to that table in which the parliaments were born (the tax authorities: the Parlements in the France of the Sun King were the equivalent of our regional tax commissions). the parliamentarian who, according to certain features of the blue social toilet, does not count for anything in his party …

And here I quickly point out two things.

First: why blab about commissions if you don't follow politics or understand it? Simple: because not everyone has had the good fortune to pass through here, to understand how it works (agreements are made at political tables, parliamentary work still takes place downstream, it is not so important who presses the button as who works on which button to press , etc.). You have had this luck and I know you appreciate it, because it will allow you to make an electoral choice aware of the limits and opportunities that the current democratic representation mechanism offers.

Second: the complaints of my colleague Marattin , who accuses us of having broken a dream (his: that of passing to posterity like the Vanoni or Visentini of the 21st century) by sabotaging (?) The fiscal delegation are totally unfounded. This is demonstrated by the fact that the delegation had already begun to implement it, in small but significant steps, before it was approved! This does not mean that if and when the delegation was approved, it would not be possible to proceed more quickly. It means, however, that if he wants to take it out on someone for not having put his signature under something, it would be more fair than if he were angry with the past Government, which in a not unusual gesture of arrogance has included in the delegation law something that almost no one wanted. (the land registry reform) and removed from the same law something we wanted, the extension of the flat tax already approved in the 2019 budget law and then repealed by the PD and its useful idiots! I remember that our ministers reacted to this provocation by leaving the Council, and that there the heroic struggle of the colleagues of the Chamber finance (Gusmeroli, Centemero, Cavandoli, Ribolla, etc.) began to correct this distortion.

The laws of government initiative do not lapse with the legislature. Now let's settle the score with the arrogant, then move to the Senate, final reading in the House, and the proxy will be there. With the flat tax, which perhaps should be known, before naming it as a rocket.

But we will talk about this more calmly …
