Smedegaard er naturligvis Niels Smædegaard Andersen, en af gulddrengene fra A.P Møller Mærsk. Manden er igen ude med riven, for nu må folk da snart forstå at i disse for vort land så alvorlige tider skal man stoppe med at klynke. Vi skal have skruet op for væksten, fjernet nogle velfærdsydelser, og naturligvis have sænket skatten.
Smædegaard er, udover at være en usling og en tåbe, desværre blevet en mand der mener han skal ytre sig om alt. Nu har han arbejdet med regeringens vækstudspil, og er ‘entydig i konklusionerne’.
Skatten er for høj….Den har vi ligesom hørt før, og som regel fra folk der ligesom Smædegaard har en solid indkomst (hans ligger omkring de 18 millioner om året ifølge aviserne). Så selvfølgelig er skatten for høj, hvorfor skal Smædegaard betale mere end andre, de kan da bare spare op eller selv købe en sundhedsforsikring. Hvor må det dog være svært at være ussel nok til altid at ville have skatterne sænket på bekostning af andre, fordi man selv har sit på det tørre.
Samtidigt er det nødvendigt at skære i den offentlige sektor, og sikre at vi har tilstrækkeligt med arbejdskraft. Her må man antage at han gerne vil gøre det nemmere for folk at rejse ind i landet for at arbejde…..Nu bør nogen så fortælle Smædegaard at der ikke er mangel på arbejdskraft for tiden, snarere tværtimod. Men det er ikke sikkert han har lagt mærke til det, for kammeraterne i Nordsjælland er da alle i arbejde.
Summa summarum : Smædegaard er en usling, men så længe folk vil lytte til ham vil nogle enkelte også overbevise sig selv om at han har ret….Det ville dog være skønt hvis de kunne fremlægge bevis for at det gavnede dansk økonomi at sænke skatterne, hvor mange umiddelbart ville mene at det ville føre til pengemangel hos staten.

Today is about Niels Smedegaard Andersen, one of the golden boys from A.P. Møller Mærsk, one of the largest companies in Denmark. Again and again this thoughtless mentally challenged representative for all that is wrong with capitalism feels the urge to pour out his wisdom to the masses. Now he claims that people should stop demanding more and more wellfare. We need to increase growth, remove some of the wellfare, and obviously lower taxes.
Smedegaard is, beyond being a fool, unfortunately turning into a man whom the newspapers willingly print text from. Now he just finished work in our beloved government’s Growth-group, and he is ‘very clear in his conclusions’.
Taxes are too high…..We sorta heard this one before, usually from people like Smedegaard who has an income of around 3 million dollars pr year, according to the papers. So of course taxes are too high, why must Smedegaard pay more than other people just because he earns more? Why don’t other people just save some of their money for bad times, or just buy their own health insurance instead of always whining about wellfare? It must be hard to be pathetic enough to always want taxes lowered at the expense of others, just because you earn enough money yourself.
At the same time, it is urgent that the public sector is downsized to save money, and it is of utmost importance that we ensure that we have enough people to work. Here, I assume he is trying to say that it should be easier for foreigners to come to Denmark to work. I just wish that someone told Smedegaard that we do not lack workers these days, on the contrary. But he probably didn’t notice since all his croonies are working all they can.
So the overall conclusion must be : Smedegaard is pathetic, but as long as any newspaper feels he has something to say, he will probably manage to convince a few people that he is right, and that lower taxes is the solution to almost anything.
