Demand every German politician to read the 2006 Nobel Prize in Economics:

Kill the welfare system and substitute it for low-wage subsidies. But not just that, do the whole thing. You either go for "capitalism for the many", "one man capitalist" or you don't, or you go for capitalism for the few, for special groups, for the already powerful and people with political connections only while hanging the rest on social security.
Quickest way to solve your problem Sybird: nuke the Bundestag. Really, the Nobel of Economics is useless here. Do you think any coalition would have the strength ot even conceive accepting any policy that empowers the individual and lessens his dependence on the state, which becomes a mere servant supposed to only intervene where necessary instead of guiding and deciding the entire lives of its subjects, I mean, vassals, I mean, cattle, damn, I mean, people?
