It's called 'Social'. Those who are stronger contribute to the society more.

Or leave the country, because they're treated badly despite their higher contributions.

The new ticket for Germany makes everyone happy. No-one will leave the country because of that. In this moment I'm using it here in Munich, I paid the full price. I'm happy, even though I'm also highly taxed. It's progress to give everybody the option for affordable and simple public transport throughout Germany.

Being taxed higher doesn't make everyone feel as they're treated bad. Just so you hear another perspective.

Taxes is one thing.

Making us buy a ticket to use transport, while the poor uses it for free would be on another level.

Public transport is already funded through taxes. We already paid for it.

In Germany the local public transport is only partially funded by taxes. Tickets / Taxes is roughly 50 / 50.

The Autobahn is mostly funded by taxes.
