@RIR119 the socialist mob should be chased off the farm

@TaxesAreTheft This "socialist mob" (sic!) has wasted less money on dubious projects than the previous Conservative government. Just by the way. They have pushed their own ideals to the limit to protect the German economy from the effects of the Russian war of aggression. They have pushed the industrial electricity price to a level below 2017. They have adapted the GEG designed by their predecessors so that poorer people can also benefit from modern heating systems.
What do you want to blame people for?
Of course, all of this should be taken into account when voting. For example, that thanks to Jens Spahn we now suddenly have a price jump in statutory health insurance. Or that he has wasted billions on dubious deals. Or that black and blue want to go back to heating with expensive gas. Or that Söder first wanted to shut down all nuclear power plants very quickly, now wants new ones, but is against final storage. Or think of Merz, who thinks he is middle class with his airplane. Or Scholz, who likes to forget cum-ex affairs.

•@devnerd_daddy In my opinion, all politicians in Germany (actually all of Europe) are greedy socialists. No matter which party, I don't differentiate, they will do whatever it takes to maintain their luxury and position for as long as possible. As I said, the chainsaw must be brought in.

•@TaxesAreTheft I don't think we can reach a common denominator here, because in my opinion you have to make a massive distinction between politicians who are simply human and sometimes make mistakes, but who generally stand up for the entire population, and those who stand out due to corruption, nepotism and affairs.
The question is what the "chainsaw" would achieve. History shows that radical cuts against or in democratically oriented systems primarily lead to autocracy or oligarchy.
I am not satisfied with much of what is going on politically, but I also see it rationally. Where is change possible, what does it require and what are the opportunities and risks?

•@devnerd_daddy In my opinion, there hasn't been a politician who has stood up for the people since 2000. Politicians see themselves more and more as sovereigns and no longer have any connection to the citizens. If that were different, things would be very different here. But the whole EU has this problem, especially within the European Parliament. Adenauer and Willy Brandt would be turning in their graves if they knew what was going on here.
What is the chainsaw supposed to achieve? First and foremost, to neuter the bureaucratic apparatus and clean it up. Politicians should first earn all their privileges and not be taken for granted. The problems of today's society arise from the fact that politicians are only concerned with maintaining their position and privileges, and not with maintaining the standard of living and livelihood of citizens. For them, citizens are just voters who can be taken for a ride.
A state needs X amount of money to maintain the standard of living of the population, everything above that can be used to increase or further consolidate it. The important thing is that as many people as possible who receive benefits from the state in any form also pay into the system. However, if the number of net taxpayers shrinks, the state apparatus grows, the number of people who only receive benefits but have never paid into the system increases and money is spent on other things, the standard of living will slowly but surely become more and more diluted. Then come the tax increases, new taxes, cuts in benefits, increases in contributions, etc., instead of simply cleaning up the mess and focusing on the essentials.

@RIR119 The only question now is who was responsible for the advance lump sum? And if the law came from the traffic light, why didn't the FDP prevent it? I agree with you that personal experience should play a role in the voting decision, but who should be blamed here?

@Botrux because the FDP also had to make compromises in order to keep this messed-up government alive. They should have gone out much earlier.

•@RIR119 We need to start a campaign. All Getquin users vote for the FDP to get them into the Bundestag. Otherwise, all hope is lost for us investors...
