      No, the middle class tax reductions are financed with tax increases for high earners, not VAT increases that hit working class people harder.

        The changes to the taxes are minimal. I’m talking about how they are going to fuck up or social policies and our healthcare system. Or how they claim that being able to hold people in temporary contracts for years will be good for the economy.

          The 4-year period of temporary contracts affects any employee, not just working class. Which changes to the social policies or healthcare system disproportionately affect the working class?

            […]affects any employee, not just working class[…]

            Any employee is -by definition- working class.

        Doesn’t this get countered by the health-care reform they introduced earlier this year, where they’re planning to introduce fees for people with kids who are 6 or older - and the family plans also require an increased fee (i.e. partner, whose taking care of the children for example, as part of the family insurance).

        The 600€ per year that a family of 2 with 2 kids gets reduced by ~€200 per month for the partners & kids insurance.

          So that’s gutting the social state and tearing up the social contract.
