Dear German media publicity,
when last Sunday Mrs Merkel and Mr Steinmeier met for the TV debate, were apparently not only two candidates agree: Manager salaries will in future further limited, and minimum wages to be strengthened. Also, all the journalists present, observers or other press later commentators did not come up with the idea of "why" to ask "What residual areas of private life in Germany to the political access at all actually still remain deprived? "or," Where should the state must intervene anywhere yet? "
If parties like the SPD, the Left Party, the Greens and the CDU, the income of some people in Germany low as unjust and others unfairly too high consider why you should be confined to State Maximum and minimum wage regulations? Think of other, much worse injustices against:
The famous rich uncle from America gives you just like a million and all her neighbors, friends and relatives get nothing. Would it not make sense, in addition to the gift tax to enact a law the voluntary donations precludes them from a practical consideration is addictive and, moreover, a height limitation on a function to the existing assets and income of the recipient imports?
Or take the unfair lottery or other state-authorized gambling, is it not unfair that your neighbor who had never played lottery, has cracked with a minimum bet of 5 € to the millions jackpot and you have won nothing again, although you play lottery system for years and have used four-digit sums for it? Here again, a law remedy. Perhaps it would be the lottery a little boring But make it really would not be necessary and fair that everyone will use again gets back, he bet?
course there are many other "anti-social" lucky: take people who come as children of MPs, officials, lobbyists and senior union officials on the world. These kids need to make a little worries about their future: their parents have good income, private health insurance and pension guarantees.
Granted, these examples seem a bit exaggerated, but they show the better the absurdity of the policy again and again and again sparked intervention are spirals. The risk this development is that the vicious circle turns more and more:
Do you know for example the German School Fruit law? Think of a carnival joke? Far from it: on 08.09.2009, the Conciliation Committee had the laws passed by the parliament to introduce a 'School Fruit Scheme "approved. The Federal Council will decide on 18/09/2009 again. The law is set by an appropriate EU program funds at the rate of 20.0 million euros available to the students at German schools provide free fresh fruit. The older ones among you will on this subject perhaps to the school meals in the war and immediate postwar period in the bombed Germany recall or later in the GDR. If we approach again this time? Were it not for the parents or older students themselves to ensure a healthy diet? And what happens to the graduates? Consequently, one would probably continue every resident in Germany are a personal nutrition consultant. Or banning the free sale of food and the state takes on the best three times a day the People's Power, as the military.
populist interventions attract more and more government intervention and lead to intervention by spirals at the end of a totalitarian state is. It is a sure-effect: More and more state support, be it ever so well meant, can the initiative of people paralyzed. This creates new public areas of activity, etc., etc.
Let us finally come back again to Mr Ackermann, who earned at least 2007 was 13.2 and in 2008 was 1.4 million euros: What common sense tells you if envious of politics and media such income described as unfair:
Apply Just at Deutsche Bank as CEO! You afraid? Discover the laws of economics, for example, the subjective theory of value: Any person determines the salaries of corporate CEOs and everyone in the free Business people working? There are, of course we, the consumers and no one else. If you want to reduce the income of Mr. Ackerman, you simply cancel your account at Deutsche Bank. If you have not the boss of Daimler-Benz, you can buy a Mercedes, and if you want to eat healthy, you just do not go to McDonalds. For in a free country no one is forced to learn a specific occupation or to buy certain products. Explain the time Mrs. Merkel and Mr. Steinmeier.
