German Federal Constitutional Court cool with destroying poor families while high earners are treated with kid gloves.

Imagine appearing at work
 in a red bathrobe

The German Federal Constitutional Court fulfills four functions:

1. Complement the Christian Louboutin shoe line with a fitting outrageous dress.
2. Reward judges who are deemed polically fit.
3. Serve the state with politically supporting judgements.
4. Serve decisions on something they have absofuckinglutely no clue about, like finance and function of a central bank, without looking completely stupid.

When a country like Germany has given up its sovereign currency and is dependent on exports (which have to be competitively priced) it is important to have a dependable source of cheap labor, because without a sovereign currency you can not devalue.

Forcing people into cheap jobs - the number of contract workers is at an all-time high - is one way. Good to know that Germany can also rely on the German Federal Constitutional Court.

Here is a recent decision of the court which ensures that pensioners get even poorer. The German magazine STERN has a good article.

Hartz IV judgment - now poverty is contagious

Even from 615 euro pension is necessary to leave, says the Federal Constitutional Court. Hartz IV destroys the family, for high earners are treated with kid gloves.

Before the state Hartz IV is charged, it forces the support of partners and family - if all live in a household. This is lawful, now decided the Federal Constitutional Court . The ruling is not surprising - it blesses from only the current practice. Why is?

Sued a man who had less than 21 year old Hartz IV was because the office imputing the disability pension of his father.A right to maintenance from the father because of unemployment, he has not. Nevertheless, the dad has to pay.Paradox. 

Earlier in the former West Germany, it was different: For decades, the state had a right to maintenance of the children claimed to save as welfare at the expense of parents. But the prevailing legal opinion changed. Unemployment is a social problem that they could not pass on to the parents, said the new tenor. 

Unlimited use

With the Agenda 2010 was the government under Chancellor Gerhard Schröder (SPD) 2005 clever, but perfidious rotation, the maintenance obligation in theory be dropped and to tighten in practice yet. And that went something like: ".... We know that you have to pay no child support But if we calculate the need of Hartzers, we expect you anyway with a He gets just less from the state you will him not to starve" Need community calls itself the construct of the Schröder government. And especially great: When maintenance of adult children there was always strict limits, not in the Hartz IV calculation. Here is credited until all are in need community on Hartz IV level.

No contact for Hartz IV

A blank check for the clans-poverty so. Thanks to the agenda Poverty is thus as contagious as a dangerous disease become - something like leprosy, which is after all transmitted by direct contact. And the successful protection against poverty is just like once in leprosy: Best depart from any contact with the afflicted. In the case at the father was only victim of his good nature and naivete. He was just stupid, his son to accommodate further. Had he put him on the air to give him a lot of trouble could have been spared.
