Mimimi taxes Mimimi. The majority of Germans would be happy if they could pay capital gains tax, because then at least they have invested. And here people get upset if they have to pay a few euros. Somehow this country has to be financed and you get a lot in return. Schools, police, child benefit ...

@devnerd_daddy Where do you get a massive return? Internal security no longer exists, schools are falling apart, infrastructure is desolate, railroads are a joke....
We primarily use our taxes to pay the welfare office for anyone who wants a slice of the cake. They don't need to do anything themselves or ever plan to, just come here and raise your hand :)

@devnerd_daddy when I earn money it is taxed, when I spend the taxed money it is taxed again, a car is taxed twice and three times, my residence is taxed, when I invest the taxed money it is taxed and when I die the endlessly taxed money is taxed again. They are greedy bloodsuckers.

•@devnerd_daddy Seepage is a national sport in the German administrative apparatus and especially in national security. Anyone who believes that we primarily support public order and social security with our taxes has not heard the shot.

@TaxesAreTheft Where is your invested money taxed? Unlike Switzerland, for example, Germany unfortunately has no wealth tax. (more)
In my opinion, inheritance tax in Germany is too low, especially if you are really rich. The performance of your loins has nothing to do with it, it would actually be fair if the inheritance was taxed directly with the income tax. (perhaps spread over 10 years).
That would create a balance between labor income and capital gains and at the same time eliminate the unspeakable wealth inequality.

@TaxesAreTheft Every time someone says that their invested money is taxed, I ask myself how they come up with such an absurdly stupid statement. Tax is paid on the money that you receive when you invest your money. That's why it's called KapitalERTRAG. I can't listen to it anymore...
If it was an actual error in reasoning, I apologize for the harsh tone. But I just can't stand to see this kind of propaganda any more. Without this tax, rich people (who are good at it anyway) would surely come up with the most absurd tax avoidance strategies

@Nio1 To stick to the facts for a moment:
In Germany, a lower percentage (approx. 25%) of GDP is spent on social benefits than in many other European countries (France, Italy, Austria, etc.).
Only 10-20% of social benefits go to unemployment benefits, the labor market and security systems. We primarily pay for pension insurance and healthcare (more than ⅔ of social benefits), from which each of us benefits.
