KIEV -- Ukraine's parliament followed Russia's lead Thursday, approving a 13 percent flat income tax in a move hailed by the government as a crucial step toward creating a prosperous middle class and reducing the country's shadow economy.

The bill, which will take effect from Jan. 1, was backed by a majority of 352 deputies in the 450-seat chamber.

The 13 percent flat income tax Russia introduced in 2001 is widely credited with helping to boost the country's economy.

Ukraine's parliament, the Rada, changed the income tax regime from the current rates of 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40 percent. Good for them. That is really good for them. Damn I'm jealous.

The states of the former Soviet Union are making the move from socialism to capitalism (or at least a mixed-economy) while the Western nations that opposed the Soviet Union are moving toward socialism.

Maybe in 50 years people like us will be defecting to Russia. How's that for irony?

That would be ... um, odd indeed.

Yes, we all know that the economies of the states of the former Soviet Union really suck. Eight decades of socialist dictatorships will do that.

What these countries need is for their economies to grow, and a free-market is clearly the best way to make that happen.

Hey Jerkek

Pretty good. I almost have a bachelor's in mathematics.

Is that the same as saying, "I don't have a bachelor's in mathematics"?

It probably means that he knows a shitload more than most people on these forums about Maths, DeeCee. Cute reply, but essentially stupid.

Frankly Wasi, I'd believe him more than anything the likes of you says. Go back to your socialist drinking establishment and shout slogans with your idiot friends.
