They're struggling to do that, now.
It's beginning to crush productivity and employment, and that will lead to a decline in business and income taxes.
They keep raising things like electricity and gas taxes, but that is just reducing sales.
Real tax receipts are set to decline. There was just a short inflation bump.
I agree 100%. Let's not forget that we're also already missing over 900,000 housing units resulting in rents going up and the Government having to rent social housing from the first market.
Olaf has to go, 6 months ago.
When someone finds out you have or will have an empty apartment, here, Germans start coming by and asking it.
The worst are the young mothers. My MIL just turned another one away. They show up on foot with a stroller.
Like something after the war.
They routinely turn women away from the womens' shelters. There's a waiting list.
So I've heard. I've been told that the city I live in does in average 40 social housing assignments per year. They have over 400 applications on their table and the "Wohnberechtigungsschein" is now valid for one year. Then you need to renew it for €10 for another year.
I've also heard that some retirees are picking up mini jobs because they're like 50€ over medical cost coverage with their retirement so they "have to" work again. Meanwhile others get full medical coverage because they're refugees. I'm sorry but that's absolutely ridiculous.
The Ampel has completely destroyed the German social infrastructure.
Yeah, my MIL has to pay lots of taxes in her Widowspension now, too. She's like, there must be some mistake.
Nope.
We're moving in with her because she can't afford to keep up the house alone and we can't afford to keep up two houses. And then we invest in our own property instead of paying crazy rent. Base rent went up 20% in January.
So bad. I wish I hadn't have to come back to Germany because of family stuff and to be honest I cannot wait to leave again.
I know a German woman who got a spot after she filed for divorce and she was the only German there and the only woman who hadn't been physically or sexually abused.
Some of them stayed with those men for months, waiting for a spot. 💀
They keep making the shelter bigger, but there's no way to keep up with demand, so long as the border is open. And the men would sometimes show up and the cops had to be called.
I can see why we let those women into the country, and why they get to stay, but why aren't their ex-partners immediately deported? That is insane.
Step #2: declare the refugees leader your Master of Horse, and that the refugees are Foederati and part of your army.
Step #3: declare every landowner has to give up 2/3rds of their property to your new friends, based on an absurd interpretation of an ancient law about military supply.
Step #4. Traumatic decomplexification. De-urbanisation. Dead people buried randomly in the ruins of public buildings. Give up on the Western Empire and pull back to the East.
Sounds like a plan.
