There's a great commentary column over at Focus today, by Helmut Markwort. His criticism? This greatly hyped 'save-the-climate' legislation that the Chancellor and the coalition government put together....which lays out various gas/diesel taxes to be added.
Markwort makes this one direct hit on the economic victims of the gas/diesel tax....it's the little guy and poorer families who will get the blunt end of this stick. They will be paying into the pot without any come-back.
As the tax starts to arrive....these families will shake their heads, and ask why they had to pay for something that they can't really afford. They may have a point, and one might suspect that behind the scenes.....someone is already planning up some welfare-upgrade, and another hundred Euro a month per welfare recipient....to make this all work.
