Same thing in Sweden. They don’t shout at you though. They just ask if they might come in, and you say “piss off!”. Usually ends there. A minister had to resign last year because people found out she owned a telly and didn’t pay the tax.
You think you have it bad in Germany? Think again. In Morocco, they included the tax with the electricity bill. You have absolutely no recourse. If you have as much as a light bulb, you pay the audiovisual tax.
In France, since 2005, they guys in charge of the housing tax (which is whooping in the country!) collect the TV money. Makes it seem like pennies compared to the tax on your home. Psychology 101. By the way, Arte is financed by the same “redevance audiovisuelle” as all other channels on the public airwaves. Why is it different in Germany?[/quote]
You guys live in some fucked up countries! We definitely need to invade Europe and Morocco and re-establish individual rights in those countries!!
