A German proposal for a continent-wide fuel tax to help finance the absorption of migrants has won backing from the European commissioner for the euro, news magazine Spiegel reported Saturday.
Germany's Finance Minister, Wolfgang Schaeuble, had last week floated the idea of introducing a tax on petrol in Europe to help cover the costs of tackling the continent's worst migration crisis since World War II.
"A fuel tax, at a national or European level, could be a possible source of financing, especially if you take into account petrol prices are at a historical low," Valdis Dombrovskis told the magazine. ...

Robbing Peter to pay Mohammed.
Insanity.
Well said.
So I live in France or Spain. And I have to pay extra taxes, because hienie UNILATERALLY decided to import every dune coon it could find into Bavaria?
Swell.
And Germans wonder why people think they are arrogant.
Sort of like your family getting charged for the bullet and 7 days leave for all the members of the firing squad that just caused you to attain room temperature.
I love your description.
Thank you, I have my moments. My daughter sternly disapproves of some of my descriptors.
All this does is give all the Milquetoasts and Mary’s and their friends that are ‘leading’ us the grand idea of US implementing the same.
Of course the sheeples will all fall in and say it is a grand idea when ‘they’ give the ‘anointed ones’ a tax break to cover their portion of this fabulous idea.
That sound you hear is SARCASM dripping all over the place.
Europe is finished. Junckers and Merkel are certifiably insane.
“especially if you take into account petrol prices are at a historical low,” Valdis Dombrovskis told the magazine. ...”
I especially like that “oh hey, since you wont be using that money, I have an idea”
The Germans are instituting Islam’s jizya, beating them to the punch to avoid unpleasantries such as beatings, stoning so or beheadings.. Interesting approach.
Not that such will be avoided. Dhimmis are not “protected” but persecuted at a slower rate.
Then Merckle will jump up and say
Maybe WE caused or instigated this problem
BUT
WE figured out a solution.
Of course these leaders will win their next election in a landslide.....
Which proves the ignoramusii have finally taken over the world.
Stupid is the current trend in Germany.
Great idea except....make the tax temporary to raise funds to buy bus tickets and box lunches for all the muhammad men and women to be transported back to the litter box where they came from.
All they have to do is call it the “Global Warming Tax” and everyone will be happy
Is there such a thing as a tax they wouldn’t approve?
Isn’t that sorta like saying you’re not an alcoholic because you don’t attend the meetings?
