Günther Jauch: Talk about inheritance tax brought little new – SPIEGEL ONLINE

There is no shortage these days truly at up.With the explosive topic of conversation – from the civilizational duration shame of refugee misery up to the BND affair and the loss of confidence of the Chancellor. Who now as television viewers, however, thinks that this must be reflected in the political talk shows, looked at Günther Jauch again disappointed.

After the agri-food issues in the previous week he had this time again made a timeless and moreover not just new Allerweltsthema. Again it came to heirs. And with a cast that also not exactly distinguished by originality sonderliche what the already listless Skandalisierungsbemühungen the moderator even more difficult.

“undeservingness rich – heir is righteous” was the supposedly provocative question that is far less startling given the current images of all other injustices outside the affluent German Lands however anmutete than intended.

Frustrating genetics

The journalist Julia Friedrichs has worked as an author with the corresponding problems of single lineage-related property at stimulating, the especially their generation of thirty-academically trained preoccupy. And after it in so many a talk show has its frustrating genetics (“new feudalism”) may make, they could also now again the whole multi-billion spread to trillion dollar transfer scenario, where host Jauch had to do as if all this completely new to him .

It is likely, however, have been as little as the argumentation, according to the then relaxing a little fruitful debate, whose special feature was that participated despite the presence of four other guests essentially only two in mind : in such cases, always happy Invited left poverty researcher Christoph Butterwegge and the likewise extremely talkshow proven drug-billionaire and father of two sons erbberechtigter Dirk Rossmann.

As Butterwege it could not resist, to remember that Westerwelle word from unearned prosperity of Hartz IV recipients and late Roman decadence and Rossmann soon after a warning against “too much justice” at the expense the economic power went so far, it looked at times as if bahne at least between these two something like a hearty confrontation on. But did not really get off the ground the.

Pretty soon they were – arrived at the details of taxation, which it partly quite paying heavy, technocratic and complicated was – after looking at the streak, notorious German super-rich clans as the privileged international corporations. Most Germans keep the rest, nothing of higher inheritance taxes.

The next generation is less left

Rossmann agreed expected the praises of the traditional owner-managed operation, whose “inner strength” is unlikely to be curtailed, but at the same time insisted that he was not for tax exemption. And while Butterwege in turn showed endeavored to differentiation, it happened time after time that of his milieu and profession rather untypical billionaire him as well as the Erbkritikerin Friedrichs, the career prospects looked wane only by talent and diligence assured: “I am closer to you than you think. “

Relatively far had meanwhile Upper Bavarian Countess Stephanie Pfuel which has very often reported in talkshows about their inherited castle and its repair and this time was reserved while largely taciturnity it, it must be ensured that was also mentioned explicitly the SME sector.

Easy puzzling were the reasons why Thomas Druyen, in his capacity researchers, sitting in the lap. After all, he contributed the realization that the heirs an “extremely wide field” and that psychology should not be underestimated here, especially as this also always go about dying.

A bit of consolation, there was at the end but then also for those who miss out now in great heirs, as half of all Germans. Due to increasing life expectancy will have less left over at the next monetary generational change, because it has been used up, and in the face of an aging population is expected to appreciation of the boys grow again.
