Meine Herren, you must pay zee taxes so zee millions uff nice Turkish immigrants on velfare vill be hoppy.
Turkish immigrants? What about the millions of Russian-Germans the country has taken in since the collapse of the former Soviet Union? Not to mention the millions more who are still in the former Soviet Union who are being subsidized by the Germans?
Read an article in the Wall Street Journal about a Islamic Muslim living in Germany who is getting by at $2500 a month in welfare, and spends his time in the Mosque. He has absolutely no interest in working.
Taxes in Germany run like 60% on income over $80K, and there is the VAT at 16%?.
We have our own problems. Paying apartment rents up to $2K a month (or more?) plus the usual medicaid, food stamps.
Sound familier.
