While sitting safely in the middle of the EU. We should leverage that fact a lot more against that shitty tax haven. I wonder how the would feel about it if there aren’t any open borders with the EU anymore lol.
To be fair there are also plenty of tax havens within the EU. But I do agree that the EU has leverage that it should use more often.
