        @aral That is NOT TRUE. Asylum seekers will be treated the same way as Danes. Before public support, use your own “fortune” until $1500

        @herschkie @aral I also agree on that. The world need some common tax laws and a way to redistribute wealth. But that takes collaboration!

        @herschkie @aral No, but there is the right to have what you have earnt, the challenge is proving that someone didn't earn something.

        @Shoseki @aral You might earn money that way but by violating everything that is right, just and decent. #neoliberalism kills... for profit.
