-Caveat Lector- How could this be? I did a mental comparison between what Russia's total tax bite is compared with the US and it just doesn't seem possible?? About 11 billion dollars per year for Russia compared to TRILLIONS for The US?? ????????? Russia meeting tax revenue targets, minister says MOSCOW, July 28 (Reuters) - Russia's tax ministry is meeting monthly revenue targets and expects a good performance in August and September, Prime-Tass news agency quoted Tax Minister Alexander Pochinok as saying on Wednesday. Pochinok said the ministry planned to collect 22.8 billion roubles ($940 million) in cash in August, or 25 billion roubles including contributions to special federal funds for developing roads and the country's raw materials resource base. Prime-Tass said July's target of about 23 billion roubles, excluding the special fund contributions, had been overfulfilled but it gave no specific figures. file://dpt7s/exr1/doc/ec/news/072799/russia2.txt ========================================================================== This mailing list is for discussion of Clinton Administration Scandals.
