Helena Reinhardt
« on: January 26, 2015, 11:19:07 am »
It ain't just the sportscars and high-tech in Germany that sport perfect workmanship. My friends all say they're learning German now to take advantage of the free tuition there for students from anywhere in the world. Me? Let's just say I got other reasons to head down the same road.  8)

"Free tuition."  No wonder Germany's a wreck.

Oh I dunno, looked like the Germans were doin' pretty well when I was there for Oktoberfest last year- clean streets, solid infrastructure (no bridge collapses, no Detroits or Stocktons for that matter), plus their mechanics and factory workers and engineers all get good jobs, sweet wages too. And fine women and equally fine brews to go with the bargain.  ;D The American students and Army guys we talked to there said the free tuition more than pays itself back, cuz the graduates have no debt after college, free to buy a house and start businesses- higher start-up rate than the States now- and a lotta the American and other foreign students stay there and settle after graduation... gotta be doing something right, after all they kicked ass in the World Cup and export more than USA but have what, a one-quarter of our pop. (and no oil either)? The econ guys call it 'multiplying effect" or something or another. Anyway... econ was never my strong suit. But a fine pair on a fine lady... that I can drink to.

Much of what is self-evident for Western and Northern Europeans - free universities (Denmark and Finland even go one step further and *pay* college students a sort of salary of up to $900 / month, ensuring that even kids from the poorest families can get an education), affordable health care for everyone, guaranteed vacation and sick days, the welfare net - is a pretty wacky, "socialist" concept for Americans to wrap their heads around. Europeans work to live, Americans live to work. That's just a most basic cultural difference between the two continents. On the flip side of the coin - if you *do* make it in the US, you usually earn higher salaries and pay less taxes than wealthy people do here in Old Europe. It's great to be rich in the US, but if you're middle class or lower class, you're probably better off in Germany or Sweden.

I took 6 years of German (2 in middle school, 4 in high school), and that times has long passed, losing a lot of what I learned. That being said, I liked it, and moreso the culture, not knowing there were perks like free tuition. I also love the women and their accents, the deeper the better (without heading into manly voice territory). You know the Germans always make good stuff.

Haha, I was trying to think of that quote from the Sham-Wow fellow on the late-night info-mercials but couldn't remember the exact wording. Good stuff indeed! I was surprised at the huge number of Americans who'd moved out and planted new roots in Germany and the countries around it, big group up in France and the Scandinavia and the Netherlands too, plus a whole bunch of Canadians and Aussies there, met quite a few up at the Hamburg Oktoberfest last year. But when you get to know the locals in Germany and in rest of Europe, they make even us country boys from the backwoods feel right at home. (In the main continent at the least, people were saying Britain's a bit more restrictive but never got around there myself so can't really say.)

Weather's decent too, not only in Mediterranean but even up around the Baltic and Scandinavia. Heck, the folks in Germany and the surrounding countries were even packing up their guns and gear in a pick-up truck to hit the firing range or go huntin', fishin' and skeet-shootin' on the off-days. That contrast always stuck with me, on the one hand here was Europe with all that culture, great art, science and architecture, but then especially come the weekends, there were times I felt like I was right back in West Texas transplanted on other side of the ocean!

It's great to be rich in the US, but if you're middle class or lower class, you're probably better off in Germany or Sweden.

Cool info Bro, thx for passing that on. I had no idea about the stipend thing in Denmark or Finland, sounds like a sweet deal- heard of it for grad school, had an old bud who did that down in South america, think it was Brazil (maybe Argentine or Chile) and got paid cuz he was already well-schooled and could teach. One guy even learned Mandarin somehow and did it in China. But not for undergrad, that's pretty sweet. I'm guessing the entrance exams in Denmark or Finland are probably something else, though. In fact the US students were saying that about the German universities, exams are hard-core so most folks don't technically do college, they go to a trade school or apprentice but have a kick-ass income with that route too.

Only thing I'm still wondering about is the tax part. In principle I think I agree, the weird thing is the American guys in Germany we talked to last October- a lot of 'em ex-GIs, most just businessmen or craftsmen, or even farmers or factory hands who settled down in Europe- they were saying their taxes in Germany and Europe were actually less than they'd been paying in the US, sometimes a good deal less. (Even the ones who'd worked in Holland or Belgium, or France or up in Scandinavia were saying that, totally didn't expect to here that.) As far as I know it had something to do with how income tax to the Feds is lower in USA, but all the other taxes are a whole lot higher in United States.

I can't compare myself, I've only done taxes in the US, but to be honest it's sorta plausible cuz between the local sales and state, FICA/Medicare and payroll, property tax, and now all these new municpality and franchise taxes on top, I feel like I'm never done paying US taxes. It's funny cuz my buds and I were just country boys who started roughnecking on the oil rigs years ago, and then the shale boom hit, we got shares and partnerships and then found ourselves among the supposedly rich 1%ers. And yet I swear with all the additional taxes, the tax burden in the USA is at, or above 50% of gross income now. And then there's the hidden taxes like the darn business license fee hikes and vehicle fees, the crazy as all hell speeding tickets- if you're in Texas or Illinois better to take a bus, the speeding tickets there are brutal! (And one of my old buds is gonna be eatin' Ramen into his 80's, his wife divorced him for the heck of it and now he's gotta pay an "alimony tax" for like the next 50 years! Don't think I'm ever gettin' married, not in the US at least.)

I just wish I could figure out where all the US taxes are goin' in the first place, cuz in America we still gotta cover college, health costs and just about everything else by ourselves with whatever's left after paying all these different taxes, and still we got $18 trillion in debt with a big chunk of that borrowed from China. Maybe the lobbyists or some good ol' buddies getting free money from the Senators? Or maybe Goldman Sacks and the big banks still getting bailout money after the mega-crash in 2008? Hell if I know, sometimes I just wish I had friends in high places, beats having to work for a livin'!

So I guess bottom-line, seems like the income tax we pay to the Feds is less in the United States than Europe, but all the other taxes, seems like they're a whole lot higher in the US than the other countries and a lot more total tax in the US! I dunno, it's all making my head hurt thinking about it so gotta cure it with a fresh does of hot blonde boobiness.



see-thru T-shirt FTW!



Damn, I never saw a sight like that on the little pond back in my neighborhood.

Fantastic modeling name she's got too, sounds a bit something like a comic-book superheroine.
