Die Genehmigung des milliardenschweren Finanzpakets von Union und SPD ist gerade durch den Bundesrat, da veröffentlicht der Bundesrechnungshof (BRH) einen Sonderbericht mit „Maßnahmen zur Stärkung der Einnahmebasis“. Dieser erklärt, an welchen Stellen der Staat noch strukturelle Defizite hat und zukünftig Geld einsparen könnte. Eines der Kernprobleme: Steuerbetrug.

Laut dem Bericht wird der Bundeshaushalt durch Steuerbetrug jährlich mit Verlusten in Milliardenhöhe belastet. Während der BRH deshalb eine Reform der Steuerbetrugsbekämpfung fordert, möchte die Koalition laut Sondierungspapier zunächst beim „großangelegte[n] Sozialleistungsmissbrauch, im Inland sowie durch im Ausland lebende[r] Menschen“ ansetzen.

I believe a core tactic of a conservative government is to lower the revenue base of the government so less services are effective and efficient. This leads to the ability to privatize those services. Remember conservatives fundamentally lack policies that would benefit the majority of the countries they lead, they are grifters. Instead of fixing problems or raising revenue through taxing the rich (their friends and donors) they cut services to fund tax cuts. When that becomes too unpopular they focus on deregulation until they can again cut services and lower taxes on the rich again.

Please, help educate everyone on the actions of this conservative government and the last - whatever - three decades of conservative government. They hurt people so they can give more money to the rich, don't ever vote a centralist or right wing party ever again. Only political parties that work for workers, that's who deserve your vote and support.

Well said and straight to the point.

But sadly most people - including me - cannot step back and see all of the shit happening and putting the puzzle-pieces together like this.

You shine a light on a very likely tactic of conservatismic politics. That they love destoying public services and such is known. But how this is also applied on a situation like this one - as in spreading hate against poor and foreigebers - and putting it together with the mentioned tactic suddenly makes a lot of sense!

Thank you!

Assuming you're in Germany, where do you read/watch/ get your media from? I'm very interested in becoming more politically helpful in this country and creating simple messages explaining why some parties deserve your support and some absolutely don't and I don't know where Germans get there material.

I'm contacting some local parties to see how I can help and volunteer, but I'd also like to be putting out material on a YouTube or blog or discord if that was beneficial and discoverable by my neighbors and friends of friends etc.

Bismark turned private health insurance of the unions into a service by the state to weaken the unions, as well as introducted retirement pensions.

It's funny that the unions and regular citizens keep that power in the hand of the state instead of organizing it themselves, independend of whatever party is in power.

[–] kommmaklar@feddit.org 3 points 2 days ago

Another strong, but much less talked about reason for this is Bismarcks conflict with the pope. B did not want to leave the power (control through help, spiritually and materially) to the church.

[–] gusgalarnyk@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I can't speak to that specific situation but I believe power should be held the shortest distance from the people it effects - balanced only by having more power for more people. I imagine health insurance owned and controlled by unions is less powerful than owned and controlled by the government but the distance is shorter. So ideally it would be held by a government to maximize the negotiating power essentially, but if the government is run by incompetent or immoral people (like I'd assert the CDU is) I could see union control being better.

The unions by and large dominate health insurance governance, they're generally getting majorities to supermajorities in elections. That's a different thing than the legal structure that health insurance operate under, including what they have to pay for and what not but when you're talking to your insurer you're pretty much always talking to union bureaucracy.

...which is also why I got a letter from my insurer telling me that a) they have to raise rates and b) they're sorry, but it's unavoidable and c) the federal government is to blame.

Which country are you talking about? Doesn't sound like Germany.
