High taxes, but they actually GET something for those taxes, not just private prisons, military “heroes” (LOL!), defense contractor parasites, and their homicide sprees abroad. Free/good educational system, world-class healthcare system, good public/rail transit system, rule of law/environmental protection. Plus, Germany is a lot prettier than upstate NY.
Germany’s population is approximately stable, as other countries should strive to be. Zero population growth should be a stated goal of governments, not just an NGO catchphrase.
