Breitbart ^ | 12/25/2023 | Kurt Zindulka

The struggling German population should be forced to pay a Ukraine tax to continue funding the war against Russia, a top economic advisor to the government has argued.

Monika Schnitzer, the chairwoman of the German Council of Economic Experts, an advisory body to the government known locally as the “five sages” of the economy, declared this week that a special tax to send money to Ukraine should be added to the already hefty income tax levied against to population.

The smell of your comment stinks worse. It is really quite appropriate for Europeans to pay for their own defense against Russia, so in my opinion this is a very constructive suggestion.

Last time a struggling German economy had to pay a reparations war tax didn’t work out so well for the rest of the world . . .

Question for all you Reaganites out there:

The government should pay for its expenses, in order to avoid inflation and robbing investors and savers through inflation, yes or no?

THEREFORE: Having spent trillions of dollars or euros on the Ukraine project, the government is OBLIGED to raise revenue, yes or no?

Just wait until it’s time to rebuilt Ukraine - and continue paying their pension plans and stuffing the pockets of their corrupt leaders.

In the long run it might be cheaper to bribe our own thugs in Washington.

Let the Germans do as they wish. The Ukraine/Russia war is a European problem. Let the Europeans handle it. It’s not 1945 anymore. They’ve got the money.

I object to any American involvement. And I say that believing Putin is a war criminal. Still, not our circus. Not our monkeys. (Which actually is an old Polish saying.)

The threat is on them & the EU in general, after all & the threat is legitimate as they claim it to be. Works for me, because it is not our problem since Ukraine is not a NATO nation. Though I honestly think NATO may be obsolete, because they are always looking for a reason to justify their continued existence. Is that why they didn’t do to Russia what they did to Germany to ensure they could never become a threat to Europe as a whole, ever again?

after all, Germany invaded Russia and almost completed a genocide of the Russian people before stalin pushed the German army back to Berlin...remember? history is a very fickle mistress. the Nazi party moved lock stock and barrel to Ukraine so to the point...WHY would a country bent and intent on distancing themselves from the Nazi party do anything to help the new Nazi’s? as an American citizen, we should have just let these two “corruptest of the corrupt” decimate each other and only then stepped in to help. IF Biden and his corruptocrats weren’t laundering billions through Ukraine, I have No doubt we would have let them both stew each other.
