(GermanPolicy.com) – A minimum wage of 12 Euros and the redemption of the promise of a pension guarantee are, according to SPD chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz, conditions of an SPD-led coalition. Scholz wishes that the retirement age will not rise. “The top tax rate, which then only takes effect later, could rise by three points to 45 percent,” said the former governing mayor of Hamburg. In return, 95 percent of taxpayers are supposed to be relieved.
