Free Stuff Campaign

We are into the political campaign season here in Hessen, and this is one of my favorite political signs, by the Linke Party (former Communists).

So what they are 'promising' is more free (no-cost) bus and train situations for people. 

Now, a person with intelligence would stand there and eventually ask....if you give away stuff freely....who pays for it?  If you didn't pay for the bus or train tickets....then who pays?

Well...you would....via additional taxation.

It all sounds good, but if it meant more taxes....most Germans would just say 'Nein, danke'...(no thanks).
