  6. <but the politicians are are afraid if they do so, these companies will leave Germany and jobs and those taxes will leave with them> Resulting in a shrinking tax base, more unemployment and debt taken on to support the people just recently put out of work alongside higher taxes on whoever still have a job or own a business to make up for it.

  7. <Wow, free education and childcare and healthcare…> Paid for with high taxes.

  8. People are not equal, so why should wealth be? Plus, 1% account for 40% of all taxes paid at the bare minimum.

  13. <Look at the TAX THE RICH movement in France> Interestingly, France already did that in 2015 only to end up scrapping it because it didn't generate enough revenue and it chased out its best and brightest.

  15. Namely the government and old-money elites.

  16. Germany is barely capitalist.

  17. <take France for example they get to retire much> Which is unsustainable in the face of an aging population. Macron tried the reform the pension system only to be met with backlash. Greece is currently paying the price for it having to resort to mandating 6-day work weeks.

  18.  Sick_Pencil  The 3rd Reich and DDR were atheists.

  19. And it still wouldn't solve anything as that taxed wealth will go to waste. Some save and invest while others spend all they have with little regard for the next day. <Inequality is everywhere.> Equality does not exist.
