Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats have drafted proposals forcing all those over the age of 25 to pay a proportion of their income to cushion Germany against a looming population crisis. The German Chancellor's ruling party is seeking extra sources of cash to pay for soaring pensions and bills for social care costs at a time when Germany's "baby boomer" generation is ageing amid a decline in the birth rate.

This is such a bad idea I don’t even know where to begin. Given the cost of raising children, seems like adding more taxes will only exacerbate the already low birth rate.
Except for all those Muslims on the dole, that is.

Exactly. Looks like junior will be living in the basement when the gov’t takes half of his income to support the grandma/parents on the upper floors.
and who paid off the mortgage on the basement?
World War II is over. The Nazis won.
Don't worry, the Obamacare death panels will take of that problem so you cellar dwellers won't be unnecessarily burdened by those useless swarms of geezers.
The subsidy is for government bow wows.
They can’t be fired...
Gotta love it. The Baby Boomers WIPE OUT the solvency of their own countries with massive debt, and then start going after anything that moves to pay their retirement.
Don’t be surprised if there’s an age-war in this country - as my kids DO NOT appreciate the $100,000 or so debt hanging around their necks, already.
I predicted this many posts ago.
Their version of Phony-Care,
Federal Forced Labor Camp.
Notice the age exempt under 25, sound familiar?
Low birth rate, aging non productive population, desperate taxation schemes to support unaffordable living standards. This is the national equivalent of a going out of business sale. Happening all over Europe. The Europeans can never recover from the cumulative genetic losses between 1914-1945. Similar dynamic in Japan, only worse. Would be interesting if the Japanese start borrowing from China to finance their life style as they age and become less productive. If they can’t pay, it would be a bitter irony to see the Peoples army sent to Japan to collect debts about 100 years after the atrocities of WW II. The future belongs to the fertile.
It's more accurate to say...."the Cold War is over,the Communists won".
Obamacare has a solution for that - IPAB.
They’ll just off the old geezers to reduce the “burden” on the healthcare system.
And you thought all that .40 was just for us?
Yeah, I did but I don't think they made the net small enough. If you look around Occupy movement, it seems the average age for this idiocy is probably a little higher. That's what caught my attention when the "movement" started -- there were older 20s and 30s in there.
I don't know why the 147 people in Europe who actually work even bother. Hell, I am starting to wonder why any of us bother --
Well said, Al. The Spartans would be proud of you.
And I repeat,
When the Phony-Care 101 in the U.S., is declared unconstitutional, Mandate-Fascist 201, will be declared a “must” (too many bribes to the Undocumented Fake in office).
Mandate-Mitt has full backing of the Hillary support.
Al, note tagline. I hope you don’t mind. ~S
If they are seeing a decline in population it is due to their own policies of abortion and the destruction of the family and morality. Let them pay the price for their evil as a warning to future and current generations.
