Bulletguy Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Germany has around 1.5 million millionaires. A number that’s increasing day by day. Along with demands that they should pay more tax. What do the rich think of that? The responses couldn’t be more varied. "I’ve had the good fortune to be born into the right family, with a silver spoon in my mouth. I think that’s totally unfair." - 32-year-old Stefanie Bremer is one of the richest people in Germany. Her family owns a major engineering company. The heiress and other millionaires in the group "Tax me now" want the state to levy higher taxes on "people like us". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhM3iY2S8EA https://www.taxmenow.eu/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John52 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Wasn't always like this. We have lots of public parks and buildings given to the public by the wealthy. Wheras now its the other way round with the wealthy raiding the public purse for themselves with the support of the Prime Minister. And crippling the economy by leaving the EU to maintain their Tax Havens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John52 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Is it because Germans are more philanthropic? Or Is it because they can see their taxes being spent for the benefit of the community. Instead of spaffed away to Cronies for useless overpriced PPE, Royal Yacht, Royal Family, House of Lords etc etc I have to admit its enough to put me off paying tax when I see where its going >:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Is it because they can see their taxes being spent for the benefit of the community. Partly philanthropic. They believe they should pay more tax because they can more than afford it and don't need to stockpile cash. It's worth watching to understand it.
