"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." --C.S. Lewis

Creative new, high-tech plan to save the German economy!

How forward-thinking! How subtle! How continental!

"Germany in the past three years has been the world's most depressed economy, with the weakest growth in economic activity and consumption. The coalition partners - representing, as they do, the opposite ends of the political spectrum - found it hard to find common ground on most issues, but on one point they could emphatically and enthusiastically agree: the way to stimulate an economy suffering from mass unemployment and stagnant consumption is to increase tax...the new German Government has decided to impose one of the biggest tax increases in postwar history and to target the extra taxes on the weakest and most sensitive parts of the economy: consumption, which will suffer a three percentage point increase in VAT, and housing, which will lose tax incentives for first-time buyers. In addition, to fend off accusations that the new consumption taxes will bear unfairly on poorer consumers, the Government will hit the rich as well, increasing the top rate of income tax from 42 per cent to 45 per cent."

Brilliant! The Germans have decided to tax their way into prosperity. I'm speechless. Well, at least they won't have Chiraq's old girlfriend Schroeder to kick around anymore. And if their 'tax'em to their eyeballs' scheme doesn't work, they can always just blame it on BushHitler. And trust me, their scheme won't work and they will blame it on BushHitler [hey, if he can summon hurricanes to wipe out Southern Democrats, why can't he mysteriously manipulate the German coalition Government to commit economic suicide - evil stupid/maniacal/ingenious/retarded Cowboy that he is]. Of course, Deiter remains hopefully optimistic the Tax scheme will finally prove the superiority of German socio-economic model once and for all.

Oops, I forgot; BushHitler is a NeoConRovBot preprogrammed to destroy the world as we know it. Oh that evil Rove is sooo [where's my tin-foil hat] diabolicle.
