It’s easy for Germany to get a budget surplus when someone else is paying for their defense. It’s time they were forced to pay some of that extra money back to the nation that pays for their protection.
That’s because Germans as a whole have disdain for the individual and love the collective. That gave us Prussian control freak society, the third reich nazis, communism, and every “collective over the individual” philosophy known to man.
- Strong economic growth and low unemployment helped Germany record a €48.1 billion budget surplus in the first six months of 2018.
“People in Germany believe their fellow citizens are happier to pay taxes”
...but they themselves are not.
Actually must be to fund migrants. I think they must still hate the Jews and want rid of them. I mean it’s obvious based on whom they are inviting as refugees.
Deutschland is happy and gay....
In California the politicians say raise taxes to fund infrastructure. The voters fall it again and again.
Not a dime of the increase goes to fix anything. The money is always for the big fat pensions.
Germans must just as stupid.
It’s a bogus study. If you go to working-class Germans, they are mostly furious at the thousands of ways that public funding is wasted and going toward infrastructure projects with no real end (the Hamburg opera hall, the Stuttgart-21 project, the Berlin Airport, etc).
