What is so great about it? Not trying to offend anyone, but give me one reason why I should pay attention to politics. It just seems like sides are constantly arguing over a subject.
I do understand your point, but oddly it is still technically taxation, at least in the UK. I am unsure of other welfare systems.
i agree that it is technically taxation. i think that we also both see the difference between this taxation and actual taxation of working people.
as far as i know the german welfare system, there is no taxation on the unemployment money. you just get youre money according to youre needs(there is a limit of course, and it is pretty low).
