You can argue about the amount and use of taxes and express harsh criticism, but to call taxes in general a robbery shows unspeakable small-mindedness and ignorance. Go to Instagram, where such abbreviated, short-sighted and unreflective statements are sure to go down better.

@Psychedelic_Sunflower You're right, of course. To put it bluntly, the state takes your money away from you under threat of punishment - so it's a bit of robbery somewhere too😂

@stefan_21 But you can simply go to hospital with a broken leg and don't have to sacrifice a kidney or your firstborn child for the treatment. Of course, not everything is perfect here, but not everything that glitters is gold elsewhere either.

•@_xempex_ Yes, as I said, you're right of course. But how our taxes are used and the fact that we have the highest taxes in the world and the state still has to run up endless debts and devalue our currency is certainly debatable.
Nevertheless, I would of course prefer to be able to go to hospital without having to sell a kidney. Would I find it better to pay less tax and take out voluntary health insurance? No Ahnung🤷♂️ everything has its advantages and disadvantages

•@stefan_21 There is of course no question that our taxes are unfortunately still being misused. I work in the public sector myself, and I find it frightening what immense costs are incurred. Most people are afraid to use even EUR 100 for purposes other than intended. After all, it's taxpayers' money and if the Federal Audit Office finds out, the ranch will be on fire. They prefer to consult consultants and lawyers for 1000s of euros to check whether these 100 euros are justified. It's absurd the way things are going. :D

•@_xempex_ I can imagine that very well😂
I work in the private sector and even there you can't imagine how much bureaucracy is constantly being pushed onto you in terms of regulation. It feels like laws are being made - the laws then cause problems and the next law is added on top to solve the problems. And as a company, you constantly have to comply with this in order to avoid getting a slap on the wrist from the dear auditor😂 It's really frightening how much time this costs and how much efficiency is lost😅

@Psychedelic_Sunflower No. For humorless people like you, it was written twice underneath that it was a meme. What does it say about you when you insult strangers on the internet? What does it say?

@Psychedelic_Sunflower Taxes per se are not bad and necessary - I agree. But if the politicians only spend it on shit aka Ukraine war or distribute the money abroad and cry that the money is not enough - then I lack the understanding for more and more taxes.....

•@Techaktien We probably have different ideas about what humor is. Selling misconceptions as memes doesn't make them any less insane. If you find my answer offensive, I'm sorry. It is to be understood as a subjective criticism of the statement that taxes are robbery. And Instagram is the place for abbreviated, short-sighted and unreflected statements rather than Getquin.
