"Under-achiever"... "over-achiever"...
It is funny, in the US people look askance at people who are not "successful".
And in Europe, people look askance at people who are!
One might imagine that somebody might decide to let others just live their lives like they want?
And in Germany the politicians keep talking about the introduction of an extra tax for "rich" people.
ReplyDeleteSo how did they get rich in the first place? Have they been working hard as managers or entrepreneurs huh? Creating jobs for other people? And already paying more tax than normal because of our "progressive tax" - system. And now they get punished for their efforts and efficiency and have to pay even more.
No thanks I'm not going to work hard, what for. I'm going to spend my days sitting in the sun, living on the welfare system, which is financed partly through the tax paid by the rich.
PS/ Believe it or not there are rich people who donate money to the state.
