Eine Frage für Deutscher

[rapidfiringneurons]

Ich bin Ameriker, aus Kalifornien, und ich habe eine Frage. In Amerika, es gibt viele Leute die "Republican" sind, und Sie denken, dass alle die Leute in Deutschland sind Kommunisten oder "hippies" und so weiter.

Ich lass, dass vielen Leute in Deutschland hat Schröder nicht gern, und ich weiss, dass er ein "Leftist" ist.

Meine Frage ist: wenn Schröder ist nicht so populär, meint das dass Deutschland ist nicht so viel an den linken Seite mehr, oder war es niemals?

ps - entschuldigung für die schlechte deutsch... ich lerne schon....

first off: schroeder is no real leftist. he had some social ideas and he has a working class background (which, lets say, 99,999% of the german politicians do not have).

his mother had 5 children and she had to work hard to care for them.
he once worked as a construction worker (!!&#33 and as a salesman. after that he went to university where he fought hard for his career and he later became a well known lawyer. well, if you compare schroeder to the american republicans you can be sure he is a leftist.
he gave much money to the corporations by lowering their taxes. but on the other hand he gave poor people a chance to go to university by raising the student loan and by fighting against study fees.

schroeder is hated by many conservatives. he was the lawyer of a former communist terrorist, he married 4 times and he does not seem to be very religious, even though he calls himself a protestant.

i can't really say what is going on at the moment. - people still respect schroeder for some things he did (raising student loans, not taking part in the iraq war etc.) but i think he won't win the next election.

merkel would be the worst choice for the people. the conservatives are planning to introduce a general tax system which means that everyone has to pay the same percent of their income (i think they were debating about 25%), no matter what you earn. at the moment rich people have to pay according to their wages and poor people just pay a few percent. and of course they will introduce high study fees in order to prevent working class people from studying.
to make it short: merkel = bush
they have the same ideas.

one typical aspect which you will find in germany is stupidity: 95% of the people here are fucking stupid. the don't care about anything - as long as there is enough beer and tv.
