The account of the savings book enemies wrote that it is not satire that some in the CDU consider the weekly approval of any tax increase by the SPD as "too conservative." Voters underestimate, in his opinion, how left-liberal parts of the top personnel of the Union are. #Politik #CDU #Steuern (translated)

After the election, he imposed record debts on the citizens, raised taxes, and continuously introduced new levies, according to Gorus. Gorus also accused Merz of going against his promise to put an end to leftist politics, claiming he has been pursuing socialist redistribution policies and expanding the state since taking office. Gorus stated that Merz would go down in history as the most brazen liar in a German government position since the founding of the Federal Republic. #Steuern #Politik #Merkel (translated)
The user sparbookfoes wrote that the federal government, consisting of the Union and SPD, is planning another tax increase despite their agreement in the coalition contract against tax hikes: the tobacco tax is set to rise. A pack of Marlboro cigarettes with 20 cigarettes currently costs 9.40 euros; according to him, the price will be around 10.50 euros in 2027 and about 12.10 euros in 2030. The specific additional state revenues are difficult to predict.

The AfD faction in the German Bundestag announced that Kay Gottschalk criticized the draft tax reform law for 2027 presented by the coalition as a hidden tax increase. He accused the government of continuing the cold progression and putting a burden on the working middle class.

The savers' enemies wrote that the CDU interprets the statements "The left is over" and "no tax increases" among other things as a new cryptocurrency tax, sugar tax, and packaging tax. As additional points, the savers' enemies cited the lack of compensation for cold progression, higher pension and care contributions for childless individuals, a higher CO₂ tax, a super-rich tax, and higher mini-job taxes. Furthermore, the tax deductibility of tradesmen's bills has been reduced from 20 to 15 percent. #CDU #Steuern #Politik (translated)

In conclusion, he disparaged Germany. #Politik #Steuern #Beamte (translated)
