100bn reasons to vote for VV
2010-03-19
Euro magazine discovered that, on average, Czechs have Kč 1m
each socked away in foreign banks. That's Kč 100bn all told. As
it always goes with averages, some have more, and some have
less. Take famous Prague lobbyist Roman Janoušek, for
example. He's reported to have a cool Kč 2bn stashed away in a
Swiss account. He can't access it, though, because the Swiss
police are hot on his tail for alleged fraud. Reporter Jaroslav
Kmenta of MFD predicted that Janoušek will abandon the Kč 2bn
instead of letting the Swiss use it to hang him. Or perhaps, just
maybe, a tax amnesty will be announced that allows him and
other mega millionaires to bring their fortunes home.
Coincidentally, a tax amnesty is one of the campaign ideas of VV.
Coincidentally, VV is rumored to be Janoušek's brainchild. Maybe
this is one reason VV's poll numbers are rising: Czechs have
100bn reasons to want it in Parliament.
