Redistributing "from the rich to the poor" will not do much in my opinion, that is too simple thinking.

I found an article on this at Welt.de:
The rich already pay most of the taxes

Already now the taxes in Germany are crushingly high, that is in my circle of acquaintances the main reason why many entrepreneurs emigrate. In my opinion, politicians should think about relieving the burden on medium-sized companies so that new jobs can be created. Then some entrepreneurs who have turned their backs on Germany because of the high taxes (yes, I am one of them) would possibly move back to Germany.
I have been self-employed in Germany for over 14 years, usually also with permanent employees, and was it worth it?
No, at the end of the day I was annoyed every month with the advance VAT return, advance income tax payments, trade tax, radio contribution for company cars and the tax office because they couldn't understand that my Internet advertising business was subject to high sales fluctuations. Adjustments to advance payments were not accepted - despite pages of explanation, my accounts were seized and even the university account of a person who, out of bad luck and coincidence, had the same name as me but otherwise had nothing to do with me. The IRS has been so handing out that I've had to take out personal loans to pay taxes.
When I was shredding mountains of documents from the old days the other day, I came across the old letters I formulated to the IRS. Terrible, honestly, I don't want to be an entrepreneur in Germany anymore.
I'm glad to have put all that behind me.

Now Biontech prefers to invest in the UK rather than in Germany and instead of politicians thinking about how to make Germany competitive, they are trying with all their might to prevent entrepreneurs from emigrating to another country by tightening the exit taxation again last year:
From 2022, a new tax wall will apply - emigration will then no longer be so easy

In other countries it is also possible, why not in Germany?
In Malta there is no gift tax and no inheritance tax.
If you own a property, the rental income is taxed at 15% and not at the personal income tax rate.
Here everyone owns property somehow, there are discounts from the government for "first-time-buyers", then you pay minimal property transfer tax. But after that, there are no more annual property taxes.
Banks also support real estate acquisition with low loan rates, even in the current phase of internationally rising interest rates.
There is also no capital gains tax, i.e. you don't pay taxes on stock dividends outside Malta and so you can build up your own retirement savings. And for the people who do not want to invest in shares, there is despite the low taxes a state pension that is enough to survive.

That was now a contribution for the Meckerecke

But one thing is missing.

How are women with low pensions doing ?
They do without allowances and help of any kind out of shame.

No one thinks about it.

Statements like Mr. Spahn's are already questionable.

How will he know how much money is enough to live.

Sorry but for me this argument does not pull out of shame is waived!


When it comes to survival shame should not play a role, furthermore how else should it be paid out? An application is now times duty!

How much money do you need to survive?

Can you empathize with such people, you know what these women feel.
I know enough who would rather eat less than get help.

I can't tell you that.
Mr. Spahn can answer that for you.

Mr. Spahn has expressed a few weeks ago in the press, a Hartz4 recipient can get along well with the money.

I have only written, from where he wants to know that this money is sufficient
He lives on a completely different level.
