To the location of the bourgeois camp if Frank Schirrmacher of the Frankfurt General CDU and CSU blames the loss of bourgeois values and previously happens Erwin Teufel in the same Horn, something must have happened in the “centrist” camp of the German party landscape. That the political right wing–in spite of our new Interior Minister – CDU and CSU is no longer feel, can not disturb. But now, the conservative establishment in journalism and politics denying the citizenship of the Union, one must look out yet once more. And you will witness a civic drama. To the location of the bourgeois camp: first to the bourgeois source a look on the Web site of the CDU in white and orange provides us currently a fiery of the Secretary General, Hermann Grohe (please hand high, who would have associated the name correctly) against one – as usual in this topic – bizarre article in the “Junge Welt” on the occasion of the Berlin wall anniversary. The province Posse looking vice versa in the German media after headlines to the CDU found to Christian von Botticher. The Guttenberg who held northern CDU in stunning political naivete – from other points to silent at this point be – an affair with a 16 (!)–Year olds for a good idea. This is small teams and large stupidity – now middle-class, or like the CDU now says the Middle”? Insolvency administrator Merkel at least not exclusively.

But what is then born in the policy of the Federal Government? A meaningless value added tax reforms for the hoteliers in the FDP? A planloses reaction in the financial and euro crisis? A rejection of the financial transaction tax? A silent President? A vote in the UN Security Council alongside China and Russia against the use of Libya? A Finance Minister who negotiates a tax amnesty with the Switzerland? If this is civil politics, Angela Merkel is its insolvency administrator. Policy for major banks, defense companies and tax evaders reminds now eagerly in ancient times, is given by Bonn felt and CDU donations affair is strangely oblivious to, but also resolute opponents had to leave the bourgeois camp of the past but one thing: we usually somehow knew what you got. Such knowledge has become an elitist issue, because only big banks, defense companies and tax evaders can rely also on bourgeois politics. That this clientele wins elections, CDU and CSU only for a reason not to fully learn: it lacks the strong opponents. The soft course, the SPD sold since the last Bundestag election as opposition policy, only the conclusion, that one already longs for the next big coalition in the Willy Brandt House. The next civic drama is already in sight.

It is but to assume that the genetic structures of our social behaviour, which have evolved over the course of millions of years in small groups and strengthened, adapted in the short period of time that has elapsed since the emergence of the first civilizations, not this. We show that is also in that the social environment of today’s people largely consists of small groups and the family, friends and colleagues, with whom have regular direct contact, is rarely more than a hundred people. Man is not committed to the anonymity and impenetrability large companies he prefers personal contact and is especially concerned with his own fortune and that of his relatives. That he is still able to be able to live their Bevolkerung is counted in millions, in States based on an understanding in the need that living together in such a narrow space of generally binding regulation is needed. But even if the man of a reason gifted beings is, its biological heritage you can not educate off him. Government the State and its regulations are a necessary evil, that enables the individual to freedom and personal interaction to organize large groups. It is an Alliance of expediency that is always in danger to mutate for the mere sake. On the facade of the Federal Chancellery, a quote from Albert Einstein stood in the anniversary year 2005: The Government is for the people and not the people for the State.

“As far as the theory, the reality gives a completely different impression however. Those responsible in politics and in the administrations tend to to finance the social life of citizens, with an abundance of laws and regulations to regulate in detail and then the whole thing with just as extensive as imaginative taxes, contributions and fees. So is the State rate, i.e. the proportion of Government and Government-related economic activity on the economic performance in Germany at nearly 50%.
