Correct me if I am wrong.... In Germany, you are forced to work unless you can prove disability. Isn't it correct that a large portion of your wage goes to pay for your health care and other social programs?

Since they are both intelligent, articulate WOMEN, I can only conclude you are a Male Chauvinist P*g.

I am proud of both of them,, which is the opposit of my feelings towards your OP.
I agree 100% on that. Besides all that, you need
look no farther than that clown in the WH to find
the "laughing stock of Europe"..

No you are not forced to work. Its correct that a large portion of my paycheck goes to pay for health care and unemployment insurance. Health Care is mandatory in Germany. Its offered by Non-Profit Organisations because Germans feel that greedy corporations are not supposed to make money of health care, we pay our doctors very well however.

Sorry, the FACTS don't back up any of your statements and personal feelings. Maybe you should rethink all that stuff your mom's been telling you all these years to make you feel better.

You make less than your middle class counterparts in America and you get to keep a lot less than we do as well.
