To what extent can you really despise the citizens of your own country? Answering the question means setting the traffic light in the case of the budget agreement. Foreigners coming to Germany will receive a generous tax reduction in the future. In the first year after inflow 30 percent less, in the second year 20 percent and in the third year ten percent. Of course only for “professionals”. Whoever that may be.
It is a slap in the face for all those who – as the saying goes these days – are staying here longer. They do not get a tax break, even though they have been running the shop for decades. They are still being stripped like a Christmas goose. The introduction of the foreigners’ discount shows that the government is fully aware of how grossly unfair things are in the country now. At least if you pay more tax than you get back from 1,001 social benefits.
Tax cut as discrimination against hardworking citizens
This discrimination against our own citizens, which is included in the budget policy, presented by a federal Minister of Finance who proudly sells it as a success, is actually the highlight of a press conference by the three traffic light bosses Olaf Scholz, Robert Habeck and Christian Lindner, which was full of brutality. After the three years of “tax relief”, foreigners are entitled to a German passport. It can then be picked up casually. And then you can also enjoy all kinds of social benefits when the work ethic that is common in the country begins to weaken again.
There are still enough – as the federal government’s anti-discrimination commissioner so aptly put it – “potatoes” who, when in doubt, have their pensions taxed and want them to continue working longer. Are you crazy? And anyone who speaks out against this will have to deal with an army of tax-money-spoiled useless people from the political ranks of the outdated parties who operate complaint portals. If necessary, Habeck, Baerbock and Co. can also have state security intervene and break down doors because citizens make fun of fat green politicians or their clothes. Where have we actually ended up? To ask the question is to answer it.
Nearly 100 billion euros in new debt
It is significant that the first agreements made by the traffic light parties and made public, do not make the welfare state smaller, but actually bigger. More child benefit and more citizen benefits, which increasingly degenerate into a system of support for foreigners. Who wants to save money on children?
This year and next, almost 100 billion euros of debt will be taken up. This is the reality of a debt brake that does not prevent new debt, but only limits it. The FDP’s life lie will at least not be touched pro forma.
The next federal government should pay
And otherwise? The Bundeswehr will receive a budget of 80 billion euros from 2028. This has now been announced by a government that did not win a majority in any constituency in the last EU elections. No one, not even Olaf Scholz, seriously believes that the traffic light will survive the next federal elections. Let the next federal government sort this out. It almost seems as if the current government is taking revenge on the next government, because it will be supplied by others anyway.
And all of this is just so that we can somehow continue to muddle through. So that citizens are not allowed to vote. So that some people can keep well-paid jobs for as long as possible. “It is not an austerity budget at all,” Lindner rightly emphasizes. The money will continue to be wasted and wasted, because there is no tomorrow for this coalition anyway. It is also eating the rest of the bacon that it has worked hard for and eaten for decades.
Shift to the right as justification
The justification for this disdainful budget must of course be the shift to the right in the country. And not only here, but also abroad Scholz, whose party was completely defeated in the EU elections with a very embarrassing 13.9 percent, also received a reprimand at the beginning of the press conference. They only vote right-wing parties into government. How arrogant and distant can you actually be? The same applies here: to ask the question is to answer it.
Now the political stranglehold will continue until the next federal election. None of the traffic light parties seem to have built up enough bone mass in the back to put an end to this sorry spectacle. Enjoy the upcoming state elections in the East.
The decline started earlier
To be fair, the country’s decline really began under Angela Merkel. As things stand now, their party will probably provide the next chancellor. But not alone and not in a two-party coalition with the FDP. They will then inevitably have to get into bed with the Greens and the SPD again to secure the lucrative positions themselves. Then Friedrich Merz and Co. will themselves resort to such budgetary tricks. In the states, the Union governments are already doing this diligently. As is well known, the CDU and the CSU do not want to join the AfD.
So the outlook is bad. At least for those who still go to work in this country, pay taxes and do not benefit from the discounts for foreigners. But at some point there will not be so many left.
