Here's another person who thinks that forcing other people to pay higher taxes so you can have the things you think you want is "patriotic". What think you?

Probably a safe bet that you have no idea if this picture you posted is even real....you've never looked at the German tax code...you have no idea how tax policy is enacted in Germany...you have no idea how the Germans provide health care or college tuition assistance to their less fortunate...

I know one thing.After they pay for healthcare for all of those refugees they have taken in we will see how patriotic they stay.

So, you live in Germany. That explains your struggle with the English language.

Do you? Do you know that Germany breaks people up into two different classes of people? If you come out of grade school with lessor grades you're rejected for college in put into (what Germans actually refer to it as) dumme schule (dumb school). These are typically kids living in lower income brackets.

So more than half of Germans won't even be afforded an opportunity for 'higher education'. They go to a trade school. Doesn't socialized education look great? The government gets to pick winners and losers; not the people.

"In Germany we show patriotism by voting for higher taxes on ourselves ....." That's not patriotism, that is stupidity.

Actually, you're correct. I am trying and trying, but I can't find a reason to care whether this is true or what the specifics of the German tax code is when asking to discuss the general topic.

What I do know is that we have a significant political party in the United States that has openly campaigned on spreading the wealth and the belief that it's patriotic to want to pay higher taxes.

You're welcome to join the discussion if you might stay on topic and NOT be condescending or insulting.

Well, we do know that the personality demonstrated here is kinda disjointed. Maybe he's German, maybe a history major, maybe a Socialist. He sure knows how to play you liberals, though. If you want to see more from me, you gotta pay.
