That is populist nonsense. We are talking about people with low incomes. Let's take a family that earns 3500€ gross together. So a call center job plus part-time something similar. They have two children and thus pay (according to the calculator) 172€ in taxes. So now tell me, how far you want to lower the tax, so that there is much more around? And then you have to look at this survey: "according to own information". Means it was not evaluated objectively, but one asked for feeling. I made a week's vacation in France a month ago, with 3 children. The cottage has cost me including cleaning, etc. just 520 €. If you now buy food yourself, then the costs are more or less like eating at home, so hardly makes a difference. My parents did not have much money during my childhood and since we have just made exactly the same vacation. There was then just no restaurant, no 1000 ice cream, etc., but we were away and it was fun. Sure, we never flew, but that was just the way it was. Today I earn a "few" Ocken more and then just goes activity until the doctor comes, but do I have to do that? I think not.

@Xantia I'm honestly totally thrilled that it's not dripping with neoliberalism here on GQ, but that so many people are responsibly caring for their future without losing sight of social aspects. That really gives me back a little faith in humanity every day. Sounds like a lot, but it's true 🥰
