The flat tax won´t become reality within the next 4 years. We couldn´t find a compromise within our own party and couldn´t explain a fair system (with the "Freibeträge" - the level of income from which on you pay taxes, e.g. a couple earns 50,000 Euros and each of them has 8,000 Euro Freibetrag, then both pay 25% taxes for 34,000) to the voters within the short time. Remember, we didn´t know that we are voting today just 4 months ago.

Michael, it looks like the worst of all outcomes?
What a shame.

Hi Michael!
How are you? Hey is it true they want to up the sales tax to 18%? Last time I was home in Germany I almost died how much everything is in Euro (I remember the prices in Marks!) Tschussi und schoenen Sontag! MONI
