Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

Too short-sighted. If my neighbor receives a subsidy or a grant, it does not just fall from the sky. So I have a disadvantage by having to co-finance this as a taxpayer.

This is a popular but illogical way of thinking. If I give someone something, that person has an advantage, but no one has a disadvantage.

Ohh.. That always leads to a lot of mental exercises. Everything one does or does not do has effects on oneself and others. So definitely not illogical.

Very short-sighted. If my neighbor receives a subsidy or a grant, it doesn’t just fall from the sky. So I have a disadvantage by having to co-finance this as a taxpayer.

Don’t worry, the current finance minister takes out a loan at unbeatable 0% interest and the problem is nicely shifted far away into the future. It doesn’t bother anyone, because through some new financial instrument the spiral of pumping more and more money into the system is maintained. The balanced budget was unfortunately abolished again due to the pandemic. Just through Corona alone, several thousand euros per capita were pumped into the system in Germany. The newly taken EU debts are added on top of that. I think over the course of life everyone has enough chances to grab these subsidies from the state. Bafög, KfW grants, e-car incentives... the list is long and will remain long. So grab it and don’t disadvantage yourself ;)

That a Red calls others economically ignorant is already quite amusing. To put a little life into your thinking, I would gift your little house to a dropout. Then the wealth is properly distributed, because it does not rest on the side of achievers.

Oh, I had forgotten that the Yellows believe that only they are allowed to study economics. But you don’t even have to have studied to realize that the minimum wage has not only helped precarious workers and has not triggered the numerous corporate bankruptcies conjured up by the liberals. You just have to be able to read the news and the pages of the Federal Statistical Office.

And that you count me among the top 1-2% might flatter me, but I won’t indulge in such sophistry.

Anyone who does not realize that the top 1-2% as well as billion-dollar companies do not owe their success exclusively to their own performance and willingness to take risks is, for me, not (at least for this discussion) capable of discussion.

The red proletariat spoke.

... in a capitalist society, class of dependent employees (who do not own their own means of production)

strong stuff :mad:

In the last posts, countless conjectures, half-truths have been spread and on top of that "nonsense" has been talked. Just get back to the topic! The admin certainly does not want to see a separate politics thread here.
