The best EU elections poster
Jun. 1st, 2014 06:38 pmI have already posted several pics with EU parliament party ads.
The best poster I have seen promotes Die Linke, the most popular left wing party in Germany.
I like everything about these left guys, except that they always want to raise taxes for "the rich". I was always thinking, yeah, let's tax the rich, and rich are the folks who earn 2x more than myself. Time passed, my earnings went up and I joined "the rich", as it was defined in the previous sentence. But I did not feel like, still spending 90% of my income on essential stuff, and thought - ah, may be "the rich" are still those who earn 2x more than myself, now.
After several cycles like that I understood that something may be wrong in that equation...
Btw, I know a rich german gentleman, who told me: "I am willing to pay whatever raised taxes they invent, if the money really goes to support those who do not want/are not able to work. The main thing is to maintain social peace."
