This movement of money to Switzerland was pretty much a bogus story. The German tax office is busy bribing up Swiss bank employees to provide data on all German citizen accounts.

I would also suggest that movement of money out of the country has been a priority for over twenty years...nothing new.

[the OlLine Rebel]

I’m not going to gripe about that when we basically have all business open on Sunday.

[cgbg]

Smart wealthy people hide their money all over the world—any country could start seizing assets at any time—gotta hedge..

[Kaslin]

I agree, let them have that idiot. But would they take him is another question?

[I want the USA back]

Angela has her eyes set upon a position in the European Union, where she will be appreciated for bringing in millions of “migrants” into Europe.

[Kaslin]

Businesses are closed on Sunday in Germany. I was born and raised in Germany, so I know it.

[doc maverick]

The German elections are probably just about as “fair” as ours.

[Newtoidaho]

How are the Nazi’s doing?

[dfwgator]

I suspect they’ll drop the “Christian” before too long.

[Jim Noble]

I suspect that the “left-right” political charade doesn’t map to Germany very well.

[dfwgator]

Don’t be stupid, be a smarty!

[Jim Noble]

How are the Nazi’s doing?

With regard to emergence of a socially conservative-economically liberal party or movement, Germany is a strict dictatorship. Those politics are forbidden, with real jail time if you get caught reading, speaking, writing, singing, and if they could detect thinking, that too.

[cgbg]

I think it is the “free stuff” party vs the “more free stuff” party vs the “much more free stuff” party.....

Everybody loots the treasury until there is nothing left to steal...

[Colt1851Navy]

Ding Dong the Witch is Dead....Wicked Old Witch Dirty old bitc.....never mind

[adorno]

I remember when W gave her a massage.

Don't say that too loud, or democrats will hound him and get him with their me-too madness.

On second thought, let's say it very loudly. W was a serial 'feeler and sniffer', like Biden.

[dfwgator]

We know W’s daddy was a serial groper.

[Kaslin]

BTW the German citizen do not vote for the chancelor and president. They only vote for the parties. The Bundestag (government) Is the one that votes for the chanceler, or president.

[dfwgator]

Just as Brits don’t vote for PM.

[MinorityRepublican]

Businesses are closed on Sunday in Germany. I was born and raised in Germany, so I know it.

What about today?

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Good job, Germany! Merkel was bad enough! Enjoy the increasing suck.
