Relocating to safer/freer places is the only answer. Even if they're not tax free. I honestly wouldn't mind an omni-comprehensive 15% tax if I'm happy living there.
Think about it:
would you prefer relocating, maybe losing your friends/parents affects, but living happy for the rest of your life or staying in your "oppressing country" where you have the friends but you can't have money, can't follow your dreams, being oppressed, spied and being told what to do/don't for the rest of your life?
EU situation is crazy. It's not only about personal freedom, but also economic freedom. Apart from two/three EU countries, it's becoming everyday︀ harder to start your own business.
Some countries are so f**k*d up that they want︁ a lot of taxes in advance, even if you have no profit.
They are taxing︂ everything. Yet their public debt is raising and you don't see where your taxes are︃ going. If they can't control the public spending, it's their fault not your.
Why you︄ have to pay more and more taxes and always raising? only because they can't do︅ the job they're paid for?
Truth is they don't want to cut public expenditure, there︆ will always be the young entrepreneur to hammer with taxes, until he goes bankrupt or︇ he's forced to relocate cause he can't take it anymore, then there will be another︈ one starting etc. it's a cycle.
Then they blame "the crisis®"... they are generating it︉ with their stupid rules.
On a first look usually we can spot that the "corporation︊ tax" maybe is going down, but that's only the facade. Many countries are adding more︋ red tape and raising other "hidden" taxes, like the VAT mess, property, tax on fuel︌ etc.
These days also the old "American dream" is falling apart. For the US people︍ listening, is not that hard to renounce to your US citizenship if you want, once︎ you get another one. Time ago it was #1 passport to have. Today if you️ have a global business it's only a burden, because of the worldwide taxation. I know it's not for everyone, but I know a few people who renounced recently.
I think it's the right time, more than ever, to live globally and go where you're treated best. Find a country that needs money and helps entrepreneurship. Leave the one where you grew up, if they don't let you follow your (legal) dreams.
You have to find the courage to relocate and tell them to f*ck off. That's the only way. After that everything will be easier.
I find this is a common talk between global︀ entrepreneurs, but the average voter Joe doesn't get this, so I don't think things will︁ change fast enough.
