Are you saying the US has unified taxes? It does not. Each state chooses their tax rates.
Companies move to different states all the time because they get good deals from the local government.
The US is doomed to disintegrate, and has been doomed since 1776. According to you.
I will post here some video that can help you understand this. And why Russia is desperately trying to normalize relations with the West. But try to think about it, before posting your answer.There can be two different interpretations:
1) There will be no nuclear war because nobody will provocate a nuclear state;
2) The nuclear war is unthinkable, therefore other states (nuclear and non-nuclear) may be however provocative.

taxes is the least problem, in Russia local taxes also differ, but in the US it is not a problem due to :
1) federal taxes are still redistributed evey, level of life and social benefits are more or less equial, not 1/4 or 1/6 like in Bulgaria/Germany case...
2) US budget is filled now more with money emission than taxes
The US will disibtegrate due tl other reasons.
While EU model is flawed because it aims giving permanent benefits to developed Northern Europe with temporary compensation to Southern and Eastern Europe.
It could work if compensation was permanent, but it is not, and ability of subsidising deficites is coming to an end along with QE and growing inflation.
Well, the problem with your argument is that it hasn't failed yet, and it doesn't seem to be failing, and it might just work.
Just remember this: Russia was waiting for the Ottoman Empire to fail for hundred of years. And then Russia failed before the Ottoman Empire collapsed....
No stealing here, or then we will have to reconsider all borders in the world, including the USAOr looks like Putin knows he got away with stealing the Crimea
Russia did not wait for the Ottoman Empire to collapse, when it was nesessary Russia fought wars with it to achieve nesessary results and not without success ...
I mean - now too Russian policy is not based on some expectation that the EU will collapse. And I justs state my vision on existing trends, they exist regardless of my wish or any Russian policy. But if natural course of History brings some extra benefits to Russia - should I ignore it in our discussion?
As for timing - empires usually collapse during severe economic crisises.
Don't you agree that human kind is now facing the biggest economic crisis of the whole History - collapse of the American empire and US-centered globalization?
So, many empires and countries will disintegrate..

People in Crimea voted for it (and this is not an object for discussion), people in Kosovo did not. Return Kosovo to the Serbs.Of course it's stealing. The way he did it. It wasn't like anyone gifted it to him.

Well, why does any person in the West, even if he looks smart, instantly turns into an idiot when it comes to Russia? It's probably Russia's fault... Russian troops have ALWAYS been in Crimea, since the 1770s of the 18th century and up to the present day. Didn't you know that? . Even when the Germans occupied Crimea for two years, there were Russian partisan detachments there.Yes, they voted for it AFTER the Russians had already taken it.

Yes, I do. Haven't heard about that, at least as mass occurrence.Esay, do you still have electricity in your home?
I heard that electricity cuts have started in Ukraine...
My point was that scrape any Russian official who has hold any more or less significant post, and you will find some property abroad, or a bank account there, or their children living or studying there. And saying 'abroad' I don't mean Russian allies such as Venezuela or Belarus or even Serbia.I'm not sure that I understand it correctly, but it sounds like a schizophrenic mix of mutually incompatible political slogans copypasted from different Western political concepts.
There are both nationalistic and internationalistic, right and left ideas, simultaneous accusations of Putin both in fighting against West and cooperation with it. Russian society is simultaneously depicted as xenophobic and bloodlusting and totally pacifistic and demanding peace at any cost...
Obviously, authors of such nonsense don't understand what is their target group (and, may be, don't have a slightest idea about necessity of the targeting in political marketing).
No wonder, that their support in the Russian society is virtually zero.
But it's not the issue.
There are only two questions:
1) Is it possible, that somebody can be stupid enough to provoke a nuclear country even after a clear warning? I think - yes, human stupidity scraowand wishful thinking have no limits. If you don't have a hammer - you don't understand when you looks like a nail.
2) Is possible, that a nuclear state, being extremely provoked, can choose to use nuclear weapon? I think - yes, human stupidity and wishful thinking have no limits. If all you have is a hammer everythong looks like a nail.
You see, all those palaces, bank accounts, cars, other property it's the dust and sand. It's just external signs of the wealth, not wealth itself, and, obviously, not the source of the wealth. The power and the place in the hierarchy is the source of any wealth (both in Russia and in the USA).My point was that scrape any Russian official who has hold any more or less significant post, and you will find some property abroad, or a bank account there, or their children living or studying there.

And don't try to persuade me that these people are going to give everything up for some political ideas or something like that.

And everyone who is in power clearly understands, that nothing ventured - nothing gained.
All of them can risk with everything they have (including their own lives and millions of other lives) to gain more power, more money, more property.
And how said the greatest Russian poet Alexander Pushkin:
Napoleon's our sole inspiration;
the millions of two-legged creation
for us are instruments and tools;
feeling is quaint, and fit for fools.
