As well as inflaming tensions between Germany and its smaller southern partners, the suggestion could also mean that Britons with holiday homes are dragged deeper into the eurozone crisis. I guess the bright side is that the Limousine Liberals will finally feel the bite of their Socialist Idealism.

Imagine the hue and cry if the U.S. was to fully pull out of the bases we maintain there? The EU just might have to start spending more there instead of on Social Welfare programs.

Odumbo’s wet dream. Of course if they did it here, politicians and union members would be exempt..

When they are confiscating wealth, the game is almost up.

When those children screamed and cried as they were about to be murdered... did none of those soulless creatures see the tears?
These unspeakable atrocities break my heart. I SO wish I could get five minutes alone with that demon Gosnell.

They need to adopt Maryland’s “Rain Tax”.

LOL, O’Mally wants to be President, he will take his rain tax with him wherever he goes.Hopefully it will haunt him to his dying day.
I need someone to tell me why any person in this strange new world of Prosperity sharing would work to make themselves comfortable.
Be one of the poor and live off someone elses prosperity.
You work to make yourself comfortable feed your family and better your lifestyle.Your lifestyle reachs a point where the government feels you have earned enough and they take the rest away and give it to those who will not work.
Be one of those who don’t work and scam the system.
That is the easy way.

I'm all for it. Does anyone think the defense of Western Europe is worth U. S. blood and treasure anymore? It's been a long time since we've fought a war to directly defend our own country. There's a "race war" going on right now, right here and all we do about it, at best, is try to defend ourselves. At worst, sit back and take it. Unfortunately, our government and Commander in Chief are on the wrong side of that war
Nobody ever won a war by playing defense only.

I think government should pay for it, by cutting spending, employees and selling off state assets

there are faster ways to seize wealth
like by first devaluing it, on a very large scale
makes it easier to swoop in and take control of, for those who set it up and are prepared

The Germans have had Wealth Tax before. It wouldn’t be hard to bring it back. The citizens of Germany will always dutifully believe what the government tells the. Yes, there would be a few people wailing about it, but it would be accepted like all the other Taxes, including Global warming. Just a different mindset there.
To: Sir Napsalot
The council, known as the Five Wise Men, is often used to test new policies that are later adopted officially. So the "wise men" of Germany think the solution to out-of-control spending is to raise taxes on the wealthy. And when spending then outstrips this tax increase, what then? More taxes? Or is it then time for hyper-inflation?
