Fast facts: 10 reasons to choose THE LEFT
first Financial crisis
The neoliberal policies in recent years has deregulated the markets and distributes income and wealth more unequal. It has thus the causes of the financial and economic crisis set. The result of this policy: We must all now a rescue package of 500 billion € for the banks to fund, while living in Germany 2.3 million children in poverty. Despite all the forward-looking action: Let us not forget who is responsible for them. Only the Left has been fighting for a credible regulation of financial markets and transparent rules and a just distribution of wealth.
second Who pays the bill?
will be to answer the question in the next Parliament, who must bear the consequences of this crisis. The other parties want to increase taxes and reduce the welfare state further - again to the average and low-income earners, pensioners and the unemployed pay the price. The Left says that the Profiteers of the crisis will be asked to pay. The Left therefore calls a property tax, a reform of inheritance tax and stamp duty. We want to relieve middle and low income, do away with the cold progression and strengthen domestic demand. In addition, the top tax rate be increased.
third SPD and Greens - left rival?
enter the election campaign is also SPD and the Greens again especially on the left. We measure it in their vote in the Bundestag. SPD and Greens have started the war in Afghanistan, not just always voted for a mandate extension. You have the Agenda 2010, Hartz IV and tax cuts for better- and take responsibility for best-paid and allowed the hedge fund. The SPD claims to demand the minimum wage, but in the Bundestag voted recently against the introduction of a minimum wage. She has placarded against the tax increase, and finally increased by as much as 3%. Who flashing left and right turns, is not selectable! For 7 more reasons, click on Read more:
4th Lobbying
In recent years millions of dollars from banks and insurance companies on the other parties paid for it (http://www.parteispenden.unklarheiten.de). This entanglement of politics with certain institutions is not without result: the destruction and privatization of social security like pensions and health care does not serve the interests of the citizens, but only the private providers in the market. The left calls to stop lobbying as much as possible and calls for a ban on large donations. This is an important step for the independence of politics.
5th Pension and health insurance
The other parties related to the privatization of the pension and the weakening of public solidarity systems. The left calls for a caring citizen insurance, and will first consider all income to finance them. End the division between private and statutory health insurance, her into a working retirement.
6th Domestic economy and the minimum wage
The first force called The Left Party in 2005, the introduction of a nationwide legal minimum wage, now have SPD and the Greens adopted this requirement, at least verbally. 21 of 26 EU Member States have a minimum wage in Germany, however, still circulating always fantasies of job loss and lack of recruitment. This after studies of other countries is a completely clear: A minimum wage destroys any jobs, but it reduces the profits of entrepreneurs. The Left say: low pay, as in the example below 4 € Thuringia, hairdressing, are not acceptable. The Left evaluates decent wages for employees is higher than even higher corporate profits. The wage spiral downwards can only be stopped through legal regulation. While the proposed by-right parties combined wage model of the state, thus the taxpayers, should pay the wage differences, called The Left, that benefiting from the work force firms pay wages - an ancient rule of the market economy.
7th Financing
against the claims of the Left is argued, they were not financially viable. According to calculations by economists brings a reaction the electoral program of the Left revenue of 160-190 billion €, the proposals also cost € 130-160 billion. The claims are secured financially. Cases, we were not on this maneuvering in! Let us look deep and open with different policy approaches and we have the courage to critically question: Who does the policy really? Whose interests are incorporated in the policy? I'm really informed versatile? On what information do I make my voting decision? Who actually determines how I claim that - valued - for example, the laws according to the minimum wage? Claims, not an equitable policy is affordable, are of interest arguments those forces that benefit from the current situation and prevent reforms do. Who elects the Left, is a sign that he can not be blind manipulation.
8th Afghanistan war
THE LEFT is the only force that does not believe that terrorism can be fought with war. In the Afghan war so far killed tens of thousands of innocent civilians, which brings about new hatred and new terrorist threat. The Left therefore calls for the immediate start of a coordinated military withdrawal from Afghanistan. War must be an instrument of policy, so get out of the cycle of violence.
9th Alternative left to make strong and Zeitgeist question
In the last legislative period, a variety of demands of the Left by the other parties were taken, including the system for the commuters, the idea of a statutory minimum wage or unemployment benefit I. By a vote for the Left do you change the policy so even if the links are not governed. The more the Left, the more economically effective and socially the country.
10th Real change in policy to advance
In the elections in the Saarland, Thuringia and Saxony, THE LEFT achieved great results and was more than the SPD in two countries. A vote for The Left are the others of the receipt for their unjust and economically inefficient policies. It is the right signal for a real, that is substantive policy change. Only a strong Left in the general election may prevent a social-liberal government of the cold.
why: On 27 September to vote for a just, caring and peaceful society. Both votes: THE LEFT. There
