Politicians focusing on social benefits instead of new sources of growing revenue, like startups. In my opinion EU politians do too much when we the people know better what we need. I don't mind paying taxes as long as they don't keep me from growing my business. And guess what? That's exactly what EU needs. More people who know how to do business, raise money, and give back to the people, all in one sweep.
Although I agree on the lack of focus by politicians on startups and entrepreneurship; this is not a political problem. If not, how did politicians help Facebook, Google, Microsoft et al. get started?
Politicians don't care about small to medium businesses, only big. I guess you know where I'm heading... They only care about big businesses not for the jobs, but for the under the table revenue they provide. They like to talk about jobs in the evening news on tv to make people happily vote for them. Meanwhile, we have to deal with that crook employee on medical leave for six months enjoying his life on Rio de Janeiro beaches while we struggle to pay his salary instead of paying someone who delivers. All that because the law allows him to do it.
