@JohannesAtWork@johannesmkx Now that I see the actual article, I understand the point - the loss of benefits coupled with increasing taxes. People are sharing only this graph and implying that it is simply income vs. taxes, which is misleading. But the article's overall point is of course valid.
@MaximoMustero@johannesmkx Okay, but now that I see the actual article, I understand the point - the loss of benefits coupled with increasing taxes. People are sharing only this graph and implying that it is simply income vs. taxes, which is misleading. But the article's overall point is of course valid.
@JohannesAtWork@johannesmkx The article is from 2023 - perhaps the taxation really was that ridiculous then. But according the most recent taxation, you get the figures I quoted.
@MaximoMustero@johannesmkx You're talking utter nonsense. The graph states explicitly what it represents: net income minus rent and heating. And it, along with the post, implies that somehow as your earn from 4 - 5k, your net income falls, which is false.
@kryptoedgeyt This is simply wrong.
A couple with two children earning 5000 gross, assuming they both earn 2500 each, would have a nett of ~3569, plus 518 Euros in Kindergeld, giving them a total disposable income of 4087 Euros.
Where do people get these nonsense numbers from?
@pierredevos Nobody owes you a flag to prove you "deserve to exist".
You aren't owed anybody celebrating your sexuality.
You don't have the right to force others to look at your dumb flag.
You guys "just want to be left alone", right? Then leave others alone.
