We actually produce hardware locally and employees in production cannot just stay at home. Same is true for a lot of other industries, so it is unfair to a degree.

That said, Germany isn't exactly a tax haven and I wouldn't agree to a tax increase if it isn't for directly supporting business currently affected by the pandemic (it will be a very large invoice...)

Businesses not affected by the pandemic: Deutsche Bank

Get the financial transaction tax and it would end a lot of useless transactions immediately and would maybe end some parasitic industries. It is also unlikely to hit people in precarious positions.
