Re: The Budget

Not really sure it can be classed as relevant or not but German employees pay a % of their wages for Social security, Health, Pension & Tax. that way everyone is equal in so far as deductions from their pay packets, but the actual monetary value is relevant to their earnings.

So by default higher earners pay more to the system than low earners, but on balance all make equal contributions.
