Excuse me, sir... Do you need tissues? Or are you okay? I just gave an answer to the question, or do you really believe that there are on average 4.5 children? Well, we have one, many others have two... And apparently many have 8 or 9... Sure, there's that, but it's probably more the exception, right? Germans on average have only 1.4 children... Not 4.5, my good man. And what I said in the other thread is simply my personal opinion. Just as I find it cheeky that the Swiss just drive a short distance across the border, shop cheaply in Germany and then get the VAT back at the border. Or that someone emigrates to Mallorca, fails after ten years there, comes back to Germany and then wants welfare or a pension... Why? That would be unfair to those who have paid into the tax system. But those are just examples. Of which there are certainly many more...
