Despite increasing tax revenues, there is not enough money for the ministers’ planned expenses. Above all, the social budget is completely out of control. This is an unfair policy towards those who feed the greedy household with their taxes.

This traffic light government is pursuing a deeply anti-social policy. It takes a lot of it from those who earn money in order to pass it on to those who earn little to nothing.

That would be fine if it hadn’t lost all sense of proportion in the amount and conditions of these benefits for the weaker. The result of this policy is that a majority of hard-working people now feel that they are being treated unfairly in Germany. Those who can move away, those who stay become dissatisfied – and find daily confirmation of their discomfort.

For example, now that the results of the tax estimate are on the table. The income that the federal, state and local governments can expect in the next four years is causing those who receive it to chatter their teeth.

Because what the tax estimators have to admit is that they recently made a miscalculation. Revenue will be lower than expected. Possibly around 16 billion euros.

What no one says, however, is that actual tax revenues are of course increasing. Estimated to be a whopping 14 percent within the next four years.

Due to the economic weakness, which persists because no one is fighting it, they are not quite as high as the federal government had previously imagined. But they are rising considerably. So Germany will not have a revenue problem in the coming years, but rather an expenditure problem.

The largest expenditure item is the budget for labor and social affairs. The responsible minister, Hubertus Heil, spends the money with all his might and uses around a third of what money is actually in the budget. Within its budget, the lion’s share of allocations and subsidies goes to pension insurance and basic security in old age and in cases of reduced earning capacity.

These are not investments in the future. They are more like investments in the past. If new debts arise, this is also antisocial towards a young generation that has to deal with it somehow. But the federal government is still not tackling a real reform of these systems.

Instead, Heil’s Social Democrats, on the other hand, are happily pushing ahead with spending that costs them nothing. For example the minimum wage. Olaf Scholz and party leader Lars Klingbeil are demanding 15 euros within two years, an increase of 20 percent compared to today.

The SPD wants to distribute social benefits that others have to pay for because their ministers are unable to save within the system for which they themselves are responsible. This is also an anti-social policy: anti-social towards those entrepreneurs who first have to earn the minimum wage before they can pay it.
