Merz is predictable and a traitor to the German people. He will usher in the fascist power grab through conservative policies - the AFD will grow in popularity as conservatives protect the 1%.
Die Linke’s tax plan would have paid for the yearly debt of the government and then some; their secret - tax the wealthy.
We can afford all of our costs, we can improve society, we can provide a thriving economy for all Germans if we simply tax the ultra wealthy out of existence. No one should have a billion euro net worth, nor 100 million nor 50 million. No one need own 3 houses while others go without even a flat.
We have enough wealth in this country, it’s just in the hands of the hoarders. Don’t look towards conservatives or the right for change, look towards those that address the root problem!
And this is how you further damage democracy and strengthen the far right. Because a lot of the people who don’t vote or vote for the far right are people who feel left behind who are of the impression that the system is broken and they don’t benefit from it. Social welfare is a way to directly show everyone what a democratic state is good for. Policies that benefit the poor, the working class and the middle class make a strong society. But Merz and others simply don’t seem to get it or care and stare in wonder at the ever rising numbers of people who want to see the world burn.
The capitalist elite has less problem with fascism than socialism. Only one of those threatens their wealth
All this while systematically crippling our tax investigation departments.
If I ever meet Merz or someone like him, I will have choice words to say.
Words alone have never stopped fascists.
Im ashamed for who has become our chancellor. Flying around in his private “middle-class” jet while taxing the poor. Jfc Friedrich, step back
there you go, they finally said it out loud. austerity it is.
Austerity doesn’t even work. It’s deliberate cruelty.
exactly
Just before Covid it was in British news that austerity hadn’t worked (No shit…), so what did they do? More austerity. It’s fucking infuriating.
it is. just a way to pinch pennies from us to themselves. they are ripping the proverbial copper from the walls.
“Why isn’t anyone having kids? I specifically requested it.”
… without finally taking the upper ten percent into the taxpaying fold.
Then how about stopping welfare for millionaires?
Or stop subsiding e.g. plane fuel. Better for the environment anyway.
So… The Germans are kicking all the wealthy leeches off their generational welfare suckholes, then?
That’s the real “welfare state”, NGL… 🖕🏽
it could easily , just slim down the government , remove tax waste and more. a city near me just bought 32 benches at the cost of 70k€ EACH yes 70.000 why ? end of quarter they didnt want to get budget cuts the next quarter. some citizens found very similiar benches from another company ( like minimal different same material ) for 3,5k EACH 3500 each or many of the million graves of taxes , we have in my city multiple “Autobahn” which arent used but were built and need maintenance why ?
Our Government makes home owners pay for street repairs in full and more , where does our tax money go?
Always has been. “We cannot afford x any more” has been their standard argument for dismantling social security and lining up their own pockets for decades now.
For starters, cancel the fucking F-35 order and tell Rheinmetall’s lobbyists and investors to shove it.
Friedrich Merz is Germany’s Kier Starmer and if you don’t understand what i mean go check on UK and how well they are doing under Starmers government and you’ll understand.
You mean it is now?
They should probably be executed for breaking the country’s welfare systems.
