      Again posting just to insult germans? What he says isn't unreasonable. It's just worth a discussion if minimum tax rates are the right way.

            "Kraut socialist to free men" Sound to me like he called the one guy a "Kraut socialist" and the German people "Free men". He did not call all Germans "socialists". Now had he called you all socilists, well then that would be an insult.;) My mom told me once that "while we all don't speak the same language, everyone in the world undestands an asskicking"

                wha don't you ever write about this shit? Well, on your topic of the day: I'm not familiar with the numbers, but assuming that the countries in question (a) get most EU subsidies and (b) have lower-than-average tax, tis sounds reasonable.


                We say "get a life" to each other, disappointed or jokingly. What we forget, though, is that this is possibly the most destructive advice you can give to a geek.

                  Like Mirza said "Kraut" is a disparaging term that affects all Germans. And with "Free men" he didn't mean the German people - he meant the Eastern European countries.

                    Becoming a racist scum won't add to your already poor credibility. Western european countries pay for the tax cuts eastearn countries can do thanks to EU subsidies. They pay even twice if you consider the social dumping generated by such cuts. I wonder why Eastern countries were accepted in the EU in the first place. They cost a lot, bring nothing and are not even convinced by the European ideals.
