Care Reform Higher power, higher contributions

The Bundestag has decided to increase the long-term care contributions: + 0.25% in addition. Pensioners have to pay that amount, so do not be distributed in 2008 + 1.1%, but 0.85%, in 2009, not 1.6% but 1.35% of this government as a gift for pensioners! So much more is below the calculation of an ongoing impoverishment, the summer / DGB also criticized significantly.

Why a Health Minister Ulla Schmidt is satisfied, showed the only clear if the limited view of certain and unscrupulous politicians see where it's always audacious, regardless of whether citizens can bear the tax burden, we saddle goes one better! So not quite understand is, when a certain newspaper asked : "Mr. Sommer, a stand-alone average earners in Germany are € 100 net of labor taxes and contributions from just left of € 47.80. What is wrong? "

Intolerable is that political groups are currently out of pure selfishness skip to disperse the people, in those who will condemn the elderly and those who demand solidarity. Is not it funny: we had a few months of the CDU heard of dominant culture, the decent Germans are good, but now that defining culture is really needed, where the connecting element is in demand as the dominant culture is again packed in the posterior drawer !

Also are reports of ftd more than questionable , the records contain, such as "It was politically only enforceable because it has never been a generation of pensioners was fine as of today, knowing that the distribution of wealth in the first approximation of the income and wealth distribution of the corresponds to the entire people. Who cites mean, who wants to manipulate the people into polemic and demagogic way!

Post, 15.3.2008:

Elections are and you know the mood of the people changes after the terrible demands only very slowly. So actually begin to affect the merging parties SPD and CDU to many in the nation. It was decided by subjecting the formula to reduce the pensions, a pension increase to mid-2008 by

+1.1% In 2008

and

+1.6% In 2009

and ensure that unscrupulous politicians expect too much, your voice recognition and the next election!

Not the politicians say that life is for pensioners, in fact more expensive and increasingly unaffordable:

+5% In 2008

and

+4% In 2009

Estimation of these are orders of magnitude, because the Federal Statistical Office is refusing to carry out a household-specific inflation calculation.

It can be said to operate without agitation, that the retired about 3% per year is less in the pocket. Well the few pensioners who have savings enough! Bad for those who need the pure pension payments. If one just calculates how much each pensioner shall ultimately less over the years, who will be shocked:

Do you recognize the real problem? You start with 800 € pension and think, "not much, but I come on to make ends meet." Every year, almost hardly noticeable, you have less in my pocket, because lie just for retirees, inflation rates several times higher than the politically whitewashed figures of the Federal Statistical Office. If you are in the fifth year as a retired suddenly only € 700 to spend (rent, electricity, water, gas, telephone, television or radio - because you can not do anything that will be deducted have mercy), then you already know now it tight! Holidays, times go away, go with friends to the cafe, the theater, you can not afford.

As you come into the year 10, that is 73-75 years old (you might still about 10-15 more years to go), then you realize not to do it! Then you can not afford anything more, then you can perhaps no longer afford the medicine that you need for happy life! If you say in the situation is not, I will ask the state for help, then you will simply go basis, while next to you the well-paid employees just packed his suitcase for three weeks Caribbean.

Then you are in fact your pension in the basic run with the money the state distributes to the poor who, if you're lucky, an example of the initiative of the Regional organizations of the German Pension Fund and the Deutsche Bahn See Miners' pension insurance :

. The calculation is of course more difficult, as shown simplified here.

But you see, because the State of its duty of care does not discern, because the state no steps against it, that this people as a community of solidarity ever further apart, lives that these depraved CDU with such a gentleman Mißfelder , the old no hip will have to continue to condemn the elderly, the elderly can be vulnerable and just replaced the poor status, you become a pensioner in the drama, slipping into poverty. This alls Mißfelder preach then something about "because you see how important it is to make provisions," This ignoramus alls, egocentric and demagogues do not take into account that

• You are a pensioner or as 50 + people not 30 or 40 years have had time to adjust to the situation today - or who was held 30 years ago Notwenidigkeit, provision must be made private; recall, that was the time dirty than the same CDU yet "the pension is safe," billboard,
• today's transitional society are affected by the new philosophy of Old "must leave", are
• They got in today as 40 year old in the multi-job and just now have a small income from which nothing, nothing can save for retirement!

No, the policy, it should make no illusion, will not help, at least not talk today established parties CDU and SPD (the Gnadenlospartei FDP or the new young rich, not to the Greens). Only a few associations are mature for one, unfortunately, not with much emphasis: The SoVD therefore calls for the introduction of an inflation protection clause : "The massive welfare cuts, the Agenda 2010 was launched with, has worsened the situation of many people. Pension cuts, Hartz IV and the health care reforms, citizens have heavy financial burden. Wages, pensions and benefits continue to lose purchasing power because prices are rising and the VAT was increased ... We need an active welfare state that ensures a high degree of social justice, "a petition of two social organizations .

I hope, dear reader, that

• Now you realize what this really measly pension increase, it is not a question of the year, but the party is that it is a question of the system! And it aims to: "Old must move away"
• You try, as a younger reader to deal with the problem of the old and create solidarity, at least for the
• You as an older reader no longer keep quiet, keep quiet because the descent into poverty and hopelessness
• They participate in the petition; Please tell your friends, acquaintances, relatives continue, they may also participate.

I do not want more and more people think the last second of her life in: "It would have been better, it would have come sooner!"
