(GermanPolicy.com) – The chairman of the FDP, Christian Lindner, has criticized the SPD and the Greens after politicians from both parties claimed that small and medium-sized companies cannot be relieved of taxes because the FDP rejected a tax for top earnings. Lindner emphasized that it was a “myth that relief for the working middle class could only be financed with compensatory tax increases elsewhere”. The FDP advocates tax relief for everyone. However, reintroduced taxes on assets by the rich would weaken family businesses in Germany.
