The poverty industry - Part 3

Since years now German companies are flooding the European market with their products and the German authorities are very proud about their self-labelled export-champion-Germany.

One should know that the biggest fear of workers in Germany is not to become a victim of a terrorist attack made by Taliban etc but to loose their job. In a state with officially 3.28 millions unemployed (unofficially around 10 millions) people who loose their job are still fast suspected to be Sozialschmarotzer (antisocial parasites). The myth of the lazy bum who receives unemployed money II [1] has an easy luxurious life on the cost of the tax payers, drinks the whole day, travels to abroad, works illegal beside etc is mirrored in almost all German mainstream media. This all is very needful to set the workers and the unemployed as long under pressure until they were and still are ready to accept even the lowest wages and heaviest cuttings in their rights. The result of it is that there are today people in Germany who work in regular jobs for € 2.50 per hour as well as people who work in so called 1 € jobs [2] for non-profit organisations on a shadow labour market.

Germany is the country where the dreams of neo-liberals became reality to get paid by the state for employing unemployed to make big business through the poverty and the misery of millions of people. These methods became only possible by the heaviest cuts in the social system Germany has seen since the end of WWII. The Agenda 2010 [3] enabled low-wages thus labour costs that brought German companies into the position to even bring back their outsourced production from low-wage countries like China etc and to produce at almost the same costs but in Germany. And how that works this movie explains very well...

I think the Amish have it right to have as little as possible to do with the government.
