This is the first of three essays over the general platform/positions of the new political party....Alliance Sahra Wagenknecht Party (BWS).
Main topic today? Economics and commerce.
The party leads off with a emphasis on innovation, education and better infrastructure.
Current conditions of infrastructure (in their mind)? Crappy. Blame on the train network and time. Getting health appointments takes weeks, if not months. Thousands of positions are missing for kindergarten.
They do go and blame large companies for blocking smaller or medium-sized companies from growing.
So their positions are a 'innovative economy'....built on safe jobs, a fair tax structure, an emphasis on the working class, with friendly competition.
Then they go to a curious 'talk'...."Blind activism and ill-conceived measures do not help the climate, but they endanger our economic substance, make people's lives more expensive and undermine public acceptance of sensible climate protection measures." (direct statement from their web site)
They avoid saying the answers....which is obvious. This is broke, but we avoid talking about how we'd fix it.
Issues? I'd say four key points.
1. Everyone agrees that infrastructure is a problem, but no one wants to pay for the tax revenue required (into the tens of billions more per year).
2. All this innovation help talk? It leads to a need for more tax revenue.
3. Everything they talk about....connects back to the middle-class, and likely seen as a positive.
4. The climate crowd will be forced to the table to prove their solutions are necessary or have 'pay-back', and I doubt that they pro-BWS.
Tomorrows topic? Social justice.
