        At 15% corporate tax rate, Germany has one of the lowest tax rate in the entire EU, attracting businesses at the expense of other European nations, which intentional cannibalism. At 15%, it’s even lower than the US!!!

        Especially given the favorable exchange rate for the euro, Germany should invest its surpluses in the U.S. stock market in order to maximize the return thereon for the use of future generations of Germans.

        I wish our country had money in the bank. Maybe they'll be kind enough to loan it to us at a decent rate after our irresponsible tax cuts and trillion dollar budget.

        At least if they are willing to spend like a drunken sailor, they are also responsible enough to raise enough revenues to pay their bills. Unlike us, were we expect future generations to have carry the burden of paying for our current debt.
