>Which is worse chlamydia or syphilis?

In life you often have to choose the least worst option for you out of two bad ones if you want to survive. It's rare to have your cake and eat it too, especially when it comes to housing in desirable metro areas and you not being wealthy. Beggars can't be choosers.

Granted, nobody put a gun to your head and said you must live in Zurich, London, Dublin, Berlin, or any other city with a housing shortage, it's your own voluntary decision to do that, but doing so you must be mindful of the compromises and sacrifices such a choice requires.

I heard this in Germany a lot in various circumstances while seeing on my monthly payslips deductions totalling well over 40%.

I didn't force myself to that bloody miserable country either, but got qualified job and was granted relocation there. At which point I'm not a beggar anymore and can start posing even a smallest demand?

That's the situation with social welfare states. They're not the USA. Everyone contributes as much as they can while receiving benefits per their needs. It's a social contract where people, for better or for worse, give up their individual opportunities for wealth generation, for the sake of collective wealth and welfare safety nets. Germany is not the place to move to, if you want to make wealth and pay as little taxes as possible.

>I didn't force myself to that bloody miserable country either, but got qualified job and was granted relocation there.

You could have gotten a qualified job in any other country, nobody dragged you into forced labor to Germany kicking and screaming I assume. Once you saw the situation you could have packed up and moved.

> At which point I'm not a beggar anymore and can start posing even a smallest demand?

You are free to make as many demands as you want, most likely nobody in Germany will care. If you want change, the best way is to vote with your feet and move to a country that's already built on your beliefs (tax heavens). Trying to change a country, as na individual, is like trying to move the planet.

The third bomb, a classic, bringing up comparisons with the USA. Listen, I'm EU citizen relocating within EEA and I don't care about your US fetish or complex. I turned around and moved away indeed. Now Germany will be more preoccupied in vetting boat immigrants. I wish they'll find enough qualified people ready to give up their individual opportunities for wealth generation, while repeatedly being moved back at the end of the queue to the benefits they need! Sounds like a lovely deal.

I was trying to explain things to you respectfully, and using the US was an easy way to exemplify an extreme, and you go straight to the throat with bullshit accusations. Lovely. Cheers mate!
