My coworker is happy about that. He is 70, single, healthy, and having a halftime office job keeps him busy, happy, and close to his coworker-friends. I can’t imagine him sitting at home, twiddling thumbs. That would probably kill him, or at least drive him insane.
Good for your coworker, but what justifies him not paying taxes on 2.000€ per month, while university students can earn a maximum 556€ per month without paying taxes and social security.
Especially considering that your coworker probably has a considerable wealth built up already, and gets his retirement on top.
Well, he has a high skills job, in which he literally has decades of experience. Any student jobbing will probably take longer to earn the 556€. And this work time will be distracting from the main job: studying.
No, income is. Imagine a student doing a job that earns him €2000 a month. How many hours will this take? This will be nearly a full time job. Is this person still a student then?
And no, it is still the same argument. One person should only work a limited time in order to study and finish university. So it makes sense to put a certain ceiling to the amount spent on working.
The other person is a highly skilled engineer who has nothing to do besides the job, and limiting this person to the lower amount tax bracket would limit him to 15 to 20 hours a month.

The argument is, taxes are experience based?

Looks like you have no clue about living costs and every take you make is a different argument, lol.
I know about our living costs here.
