There are no more free meals

“There are no more free meals” headline the newspaper Corriere della Sera. We never thought that this is just the rule of the sport? “If you are not able to compete is better that you’re home.” Well, that is brutal, but it is reality. In our system widely criticized, however, there is an organization, the Italian Olympic Committee, working to have athletes in a position to win, that means to be competitive. I am the first to say that this role could be played in the best way. Any way there is  a department devoted to prepare for the Olympics,  which provides funding for projects that are designed to implement programs that promote our talents in the world of competitive performance.
In sport there are no free meals: either you win or lose, it will be hard but it’s true and you have to fight also against those who choose shortcuts: doping. In politics the rule is different: we vote on the promise (I’ll remove the taxes, give jobs) and many believe and sling to vote for that party. Our parties should learn from sports, financing ideas and projects that promote competitiveness. Have to say what they want to do for young people who are unemployed, for companies that do not have credit from banks and so on.

Sport teaches us that the proposals must be perceived as simple and feasible and not difficult and bureaucratic. Each person must perceive as achievable even though he has not recommended by someone, because she will be evaluated for her skills and not for the friends. Skills and entrepreneurship are the basis for competitiveness. Familism and recommendation are the rules that lead to corruption wing. The parties must decide which side to take. Use the rules of the sport and have the solution to this dilemma, with the knowledge that you are doing everything, see doping, to destroy it.

Doping in economics is an approach known from  immemorial time, and that involves doing appear to be true (for example, the reduction of taxes or false accounting) what in reality is false. Please do not promise but say what you will do to increase the competitiveness of Italy, because the problem is not taxes, but how to earn money to live in comfort.
