Germany is facing difficulties in taking in more migrants, President Frank-Walter Steinmeier said on Wednesday.
“Germany, like Italy, is at the limit of its capacity,” Steinmeier said in an interview with Italian Newspaper Corriere della Sera, pointing out that Germany had received a third of all EU asylum requests in the first half of 2023.
The president acknowledged that both Italy and Germany had “heavy loads to bear” and called for a “fair distribution” of migratory burdens within Europe.

Alright? Increase taxes on those who have more money than they could ever spend and then help those who need a tiny fraction of that to fucking survive. I really don’t see why you think there’s no solutions here.
Are all of your countries other problems solved? Increasing taxes on the rich somehow always turns into increasing taxes for everyone else. If you can pull it off, more power to you
There is an easy solution for this: Tax property instead of income.
They do this already in addition to US Federal income tax. Florida, as one example, has no state income tax, but has tangible personal property tax, real property tax, and sales tax.
Is there a requirement that a person can only solve a problem if they personally have zero other problems in their life?
