(*This figure may be slightly exaggerated and is probably more like 99.17%) What I find a tad difficult to understand is why, since 99.99% of all tax revenues* in this country go directly to Bucharest, everywhere else can manage to clear the snow and Bucharest can’t?

And now it's the same thing - if I had no money I'd steal anything to get my 5 litres Mercedes. It's a part of me, it makes me feel complete. Nota bene - it's Mercedes not BMW or anything else, Mercedes only :X P.S.: there's also a 5.5 litres AMG and a 6 litres version for my model but I didn't have money for it back then and now it's not worth the spending and 6.3 and 6.5 litres AMG for the new 2007 model but I still don't have money for it :)) But I will raise more money this year and maybe I'll be able to get the new model for Christmas :) Romanians live to change their cars...

But what I have been finding lately is that many Bucharestians are mad that the city does not clear the snow from the sidewalks. I mean many Romanians know that their country is backward and they are mad about it. So, the blame seems to fall upon the corrupt politicians who don't care about they people they were elected to serve. They about high end 400-600 horse power BMWs and Mercedes. They care about these cars to the point of obsession. They will have their cars even if Bucharest will have no snow plows. At any cost they will steal money to have their top of the range cars.
