The EU
politicians have set themselves up as a new nobility. They get lifetime
pensions after 1 or 2 terms in office, they get a huge part of their
salaries tax free, they get free business travel, taxi, free apartments,
and of course, legal immunity. I cannot for the life of me imagine how
come the public hasn't rebelled at the revolting life styles and benefits
they have awarded themselves. And they then have the stomach to complain
and call entrepreneurs "greedy".

US politicians also get a pension after a term in office (although I
think it is quite modest if they serve only one term).

Lots of people that work outside of their official country of residence
get some benefits tax free.

Travel mandated by the employer (so-called business travel) is usually
paid by the employer.

There may be some exploitation, but most of the things you mention do
not seem outrageous to me.
