"In the last resort, the problem of progressive taxation is, of course, an ethical problem, and in a democracy the real problem is whether the support that the principle now receives would continue if the people fully understood how it operates." |

Political Economy: Eurobelarus. 02/14/2007 - 20:39 / Andrej KolesnikovIf Aliaksandr Lukashenka remains consistent then the conditional watershed between Russia and Belarus will be EU’s and NATO’s border.

Milinkevich outlines the basic common goals of the president and the opposition – preventing the economic collapse, maintaining cooperation with the East and with the West, and preserving the independence of the country. comments: 0
