Yes friends, this is simply the reality for many people in this country.
In the table you showed, the following is stated exactly. From every euro earned, 12.1 cents are deducted as wage or income tax. Oh, I wonder. 12.1 percent income tax? Indeed. This statistic certainly can’t be for Germany.
Now everyone who only pays 12 percent wage or income tax can speak up. For me, it’s almost 30 percent.
Well, that’s me too. My income from renting and leasing as well as my capital gains are more or less a nice to have.
They are not necessarily earned income.
By the way, I find it nice how you first get upset that the state takes 70% from all people in Germany. Then the table can’t possibly apply to the average German, and in the end it turns out that you are simply personally offended and don’t even realize that you are lumping everyone together. But you don’t want to understand and learn. To deny reality and live in one’s own world.
The minimum wage earner – who, according to you, is so exploited by the state – actually has a tax rate of about 11% as a single person (but not on the gross income, rather on the taxable income – less % on the gross).
The skilled worker with 45k gross has about 20% on the taxable income.
Each in tax class 1 as a single person, so that the tax burden is especially high.
So yes, for ordinary German workers, the tables are correct and not fake.
