Emanuel Boeminghaus criticized the planned mandatory insurance against natural disasters, describing it as an additional burden for homeowners. He wrote that millions of owners would have to pay for the new protection and accused politics in Berlin of constantly introducing new taxes and levies, once again burdening those who contribute. Boeminghaus referred to a position paper from Federal Minister of Justice Stefanie Hubig and Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil, both from the SPD. According to it, residential building insurance should automatically cover damages from events such as floods, heavy rain, and earthquakes; previously, 59 percent of homeowners had corresponding protection. According to the information in the article, annual premiums for a standard single-family home could range between 100 and 1,500 euros. The regular deductible should be no more than 20,000 euros, while with a cheaper minimum insurance, owners could have to bear up to 100,000 euros themselves. Boeminghaus also pointed to criticism from the insurance industry, which demands stronger measures for damage prevention, and wrote that mandatory insurance alone does not prevent damage. https://t.co/ZyUzhujgWa #Versicherungspflicht #Immobilien #Steuerpolitik (translated)

The account "sparbuchfeinde" wrote that German labor law theoretically protects employees strongly, but in practice, ordinary workers are the biggest losers. According to his portrayal, German companies drag along hundreds of thousands of underperforming employees. The consequences of this are mainly borne by high-performing employees, who have to work more while their companies can pay them less. According to "sparbuchfeinde," only employees he classified as lazy or low-performing benefit from this; all others lose. #Arbeitsrecht #Arbeitnehmerrechte #Leistungsträger (translated)

The Hayek Club Weimar wrote that a state distributing social benefits, in its estimation, attracts people who live off others. The working population is forced to finance it, while beneficiaries rely on workers to support them. The club demanded to stop the payments and not to finance further claims at the expense of taxpayers. What is happening in France will soon also be facing Germany, it warned. #Steuergelder #Sozialpolitik #Leistungsgesellschaft (translated)

Florian Warweg stated that the federal government has since confirmed that pensioners in Russia have 200 euros deducted from their pensions each month. When he inquired at the government press conference in September, he was initially told that this was merely his claim. As evidence, Warweg referred to a subsequent statement from the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs regarding questions from the government press conferences on September 28 and October 5, 2026. The ministry stated that fees would be deducted for transfers of statutory pensions from Germany to accounts at Raiffeisen Bank International AG in Russia. The bank justified this with higher compliance risks and additional auditing and processing efforts. Despite efforts, alternative payment methods that could avoid the fees have not been found. According to the statement, statutory pensions would be transferred free of charge within the SEPA area. For payments outside this area, the benefit provider bears the costs up to the commissioned financial institution; fees from further correspondent banks are not covered by the German Pension Insurance or the Pension Service. Affected individuals could have their pension transferred to an account in another country, provided they meet the personal requirements and can set up an account there, according to the ministry. Warweg asked why the ministry initially labeled the deduction as an unfounded claim and then acknowledged it about two weeks later. He noted that the ministry had provided the supplementary information, while the Foreign Office, despite a commitment, had not sent any follow-up and later declared itself not responsible. The inquiry was about what advice it would give to affected German pensioners in Russia. #Rentner #Bundesregierung #Russland (translated)

The Hayek Club Weimar wrote that the state grows while the economy shrinks, and the costs ultimately fall on the taxpayers. In the state-affiliated sector, hundreds of thousands of jobs are added, while in the sector of contributors, hundreds of thousands of jobs are lost. The club argued that while a state can redistribute and regulate, it cannot create wealth itself. Authorities, regulations, and administrative structures cost money, time, and labor; citizens and businesses must simultaneously bear higher costs, levies, and requirements. According to the Hayek Club, wealth is generated by people who realize ideas, start businesses, take risks, and invest. A state that claims more and more resources while its economic base loses strength cannot, in the long run, distribute more than what is generated, the club wrote. #Staat #Wirtschaft #Steuern (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that FernetBuehler had previously been a civil servant and had been working as a business consultant for many years. He caught his attention on X with reasonable contributions and economic expertise. According to Boeminghaus, FernetBuehler not only describes problems but also understands economic contexts and asks uncomfortable questions. Boeminghaus asked how long one would still watch the economic foundation crumble and where the uprising of entrepreneurs, high achievers, and others who keep the country running was. A conversation with FernetBuehler offers clear language and economic expertise instead of whitewashing and political clichés, he wrote, recommending people to take a look at it. https://t.co/BQwyF9oge0 #Wirtschaft #Unternehmertum #Beratung (translated)

The author wrote that the German social state is no longer one, but has developed into an insatiable leviathan. He accused it of driving out productive members, companies, and the industry, allowing the population to become increasingly impoverished, and rewarding those who refuse to work and cheats. https://t.co/Ct5RDUKUyK #Sozialstaat #Leistung #Gerechtigkeit (translated)

Sparbook enemies wrote that a government formed by Red-Red-Green would plunge Germany into a severe crisis according to their own assessment. Performance drivers would, according to their forecast, leave the country so quickly that the government could impose exit bans. To prevent a complete collapse of state finances, Germany would have to tax based on citizenship, similar to the USA. Therefore, it would not be enough to emigrate to Switzerland; those affected would also have to renounce their German citizenship. Sparbook enemies described this scenario as frightening. #Deutschland #Politik #Auswanderung (translated)

The AfD wrote that citizens would be exploited "down to the last shirt" through levies on tobacco, plastic, and wages. It called for an immediate end to what it considers anti-social tax increases, a relief for contributors, and an end to tax wastage abroad. https://t.co/qoTzD2VWso https://t.co/T6VvbUbfCm #Steuerpolitik #SozialeGerechtigkeit #AfD (translated)

The Australian exchange student wrote that the monthly additional burden amounts to 102 euros. If this amount were invested in the MSCI World for 45 years, it would hypothetically yield almost 400,000 euros, he calculated. At the same time, he accused the government of daily harsh actions against contributors. #Finanzen #Anlage #Rendite (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that high earners and their employers would have to pay higher social contributions in 2027. He referred to a report by WELT stating that the contribution assessment ceiling for health insurance would rise from 5,812.50 to 6,375 euros per month. At unchanged contribution rates, this would mean that those with statutory health insurance, with one child and an income above the new limit, would take home about 102 euros less per month or more than 1,220 euros a year. Employers would also have to pay an additional approximately 102 euros monthly for correspondingly well-paid employees; together, this would create an additional burden of about 203 euros per month and more than 2,400 euros annually. Boeminghaus criticized that Germany is making well-paid work more expensive and increasing corporate costs. Additionally, he accused those responsible of disregarding high performers. https://t.co/NwR1rJzxrG #Sozialabgaben #Arbeit #Deutschland (translated)

The federal cabinet today adopted the #CareReform. In order not to further escalate the ongoing dispute in the governing coalition, criticism points and fundamental reform projects were initially ignored. These will be clarified by a commission. The consequence: contributors will have to shoulder significantly higher burdens. In this context, the health policy spokesman for the AfD parliamentary group, @martin_sichert, states: "The spousal co-insurance will become more expensive in the future, childless individuals will pay more and the contribution assessment limit will rise. All of this burdens the providers of performance in our society. It is a disgrace for the government of Chancellor Merz and Health Minister Linnemann that their central action is limited to taking more and more money from the citizens to temporarily save the fundamentally reform-needy long-term care insurance from financial ruin. And of course, a commission will also be tasked again to bring about further burdens for the citizens, such as higher burdens for privately insured individuals. The contribution rate for statutory long-term care insurance has been rising for years, and the money still does not reach sufficient levels. There are no genuine reforms. Where is the radical reduction of bureaucracy? Where is the strengthening of home care? The long-term care insurance system needs fundamental reform, just like the entire healthcare sector. The AfD parliamentary group has already submitted extensive concepts that encompass not only care but also health insurance companies, hospitals, doctors, pharmacies, therapists, and all other service providers. We therefore once again call on the federal government not to stand in the way of a fundamental health and care reform." #Pflegereform #Gesundheit #Politik (translated)

Kaviar für die „Volksvertreter“ - Graupensuppe für das Volk! Die Leistungsträger sollen mehr arbeiten, nicht mehr krank werden, den Gürtel noch enger schnallen und sich auf weitere Einschnitte einstellen, weil es dem Land nicht so gut geht Das gilt natürlich nicht für unsere https://t.co/PbcBGTFc80 #SozialeUngerechtigkeit #Politik #Protest #DE

Merz stellt das Zwei Klassen System bei der Krankenversicherung infrage. Für viele Versicherte könnten gleichzeitig höhere Belastungen kommen. Wieder trifft es die Leistungsträger. #Krankenversicherung #Gesundheit #Sozialabgaben #Deutschland Reformdruck: Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz bezeichnete am 21. September 2026 unterschiedliche Wartezeiten zwischen privat und gesetzlich Versicherten als mögliches Gerechtigkeitsproblem. Die Koalition will nach seinen Angaben Regelungen der gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung auf die private Krankenversicherung übertragen. (Berliner Zeitung) Mehrbelastung: Das geplante GKV Sparpaket sieht höhere Arzneimittelzuzahlungen von bis zu 15 Euro vor. Zudem sollen bisher beitragsfrei mitversicherte Ehe und Lebenspartner ohne Betreuungs oder Pflegeaufgaben ab 2027 einen Beitrag von 2,5 Prozent der beitragspflichtigen Einnahmen des Hauptversicherten zahlen. Die geplanten Änderungen zeigen erheblichen Reformdruck im deutschen Krankenversicherungssystem und können für Teile der Versicherten zu höheren finanziellen Belastungen führen. Vielen Dank für den wichtigen Hinweis! Quelle: Berliner Zeitung https://t.co/XYLI6V6uTY #Krankenversicherung #Gesundheit #Deutschland

Wenn Klingbeil von den Menschen spricht, meint er Arbeitnehmer, Selbstständige, Freiberufler und Unternehmer – also die Leistungsträger dieser Gesellschaft. Ich weiß nicht, wie es euch geht. Ich jedenfalls bin nicht bereit, noch mehr Abgaben und Steuern zu zahlen – schon gar nicht für Menschen, die nicht bereit sind, etwas für unsere Gesellschaft zu tun. Deshalb gibt es für mich nur noch eine Lösung: Diese Bundesregierung muss weg. Wir brauchen einen Wechsel. Wir brauchen Neuwahlen. #Neuwahlen #Steuern #Leistungsträger

Erst schröpft die CDU-geführte Bundesregierung unsere Leistungsträger mit Steuern und Abgaben, den Rest kassiert sie - zumindest bei den Pendlern - an der Tankstelle ein. Zum Leben bleibt kaum noch etwas. Es ist genug - Deutschland braucht einen Neustart mit der AfD! https://t.co/Bhv7uqVng7 #CDU #Deutschland #AfD

Die Regierung gibt 5 Milliarden Euro mehr für das Bürgergeld aus und verzichtet im Gegenzug auf die Ausgleichung der kalten Progression. Und nennt diese Unverschämtheit gegenüber der arbeitenden Bevölkerung eine „große Reform“. Härter kann man den Leistungsträgern nicht ins Gesicht spucken. #Bürgergeld #Reform #SozialeGerechtigkeit
