The AfD could make a presentation about the effect that mass immigration of low skill Muslims will have on the viability of the German pension system. That would REALLY get the attention of older Germans.
Well, there’s another issue with the migrants and the German pension program, which no one wants to utter on public TV or discuss.
Let’s say that you had 500,000 folks arrive in Germany who are 25-to-45 years old. Let’s say that the bulk then get somewhat integrated....get lesser technical jobs (which is what most are doing) and stay around till age 66 (for retirement).
So, Mr X goes to the pension office. He talks with the pension representative. Mr X has a German associate who started working at age 15 (via the apprentice program). The friend....same job....same qualifications....has paid ten years more into the pension pot than Mr X. The German friend will get 1,500 Euro a month as a pension. Mr X? 980 Euro a month. That ten years mattered. Can Mr X live off 980 Euro? Only marginally. Will the government have to pay Mr X a welfare supplement on top of the pension? Yes...probably so. Where does the welfare supplement come from? Oh....yeah....tax revenue.
What about the guys who came in and said they were 16 years old and they were really 22 years old? Well...somewhere around the real age of 66....with knee trouble and various aches....they’d like to take retirement but they have been faking the government and on paper....they are still 60. Those folks? They will have to work until age 72 (real age).
All of these represent little small problems that one can laugh about but it’s how corrupted the whole system has become. There are some 45-year old migrants who’ve arrived and even if they integrate and get a job....by 66...I doubt if they can get more than 600 Euro a month on a pension. Go figure how that works.
