Christian Lindner on Habeck: "He's not lying, he has no idea"

Comic show Christian Lindner on Habeck: "He's not lying, he has no idea" Editorial team • 5 hours • 2 minutes reading time In a video from his car, Christian Lindner reacted to Robert Habeck's statements on Maischberger. Last week, Habeck spoke there about his proposal to tax capital income and demanded that the "strong shoulders" should participate more. Christian Lindner, the FDP's top candidate, now found clear words on the subject. "Solidarity means that the strong shoulders participate more than the weak ones, unlike what has been the case so far," Habeck told Maischberger. Lindner now explains why that is wrong. Christian Lindner clearly on Habeck: "Don't believe him" "Don't believe him. Robert isn't lying, but he still has no idea," Lindner begins his reaction from his car. "Capital income is taxed in Germany, and heavily," says Lindner. Other critics had also previously argued to Habeck that everything related to capital gains and capital gains themselves are already taxed. This means that in some cases there is even double or triple taxation. Lindner now also agrees with this criticism. Christian Lindner: "Robert's justice gap simply does not exist" "If you have a GmbH, the profit is taxed there first. And then when it is distributed to the shareholder. Together, that comes to over 48 percent and therefore more than work," Lindner summarizes. Work is also highly taxed in Germany compared internationally and among OECD countries. "Robert's justice gap simply does not exist," Lindner concludes his statement. In the comments under the video, which received over 27,000 likes on Instagram, the mood is divided. Some write that Mr. Habeck is right, others agree with Lindner's opinion. However, many users are amused by the statement "He's not lying, he just has no idea" - one comment on it received the most approval with 4,000 likes.
