Our Money? Belongs to the State! - CDU politician Sepp Müller exposes the blatant arrogance of Berlin's eliteWhile millions of Germans are despairing at gas stations and fuel prices are skyrocketing, CDU deputy parliamentary group leader Sepp Müller calmly gives an interview and reveals the true mindset of the political class: Citizens' money belongs to the state first. 
While fuel prices are exploding and commuters, tradespeople and families are bleeding at the gas station, CDU deputy parliamentary group leader Sepp Müller gives an interview to the Welt news channel and calmly explains the world to us. His message is as revealing as it is shocking: Citizens' money belongs to the state first and foremost. Every repayment is portrayed as a generous gift that the state supposedly cannot really afford – and which is best avoided in order, allegedly, “not to fuel inflation” and “not to burden the next generation.” The state collects 51 percent – and now stop complaining!This is not a lapsus linguae. This is the naked attitude of a political class that views the citizen as a taxpayer cash cow, whose earnings automatically belong to the state. The state still takes 51 percent from every liter of gasoline. And then what? Then Sepp Müller urgently warns against “pulling the wool over people's eyes” and returning money “that we do not have.”Wait a moment. Which “we”? The money does not belong to the state. It belongs to the citizens who earned it through hard work, risk, and sacrifice. The state takes it away from them – through the energy tax, the CO₂ levy, value-added tax, and whatever else there is. When prices rise, the state even collects more through VAT (almost 400 million euros additionally per month, as Müller himself admits). And then Sepp Müller acts as if a refund were an act of merciful grace that must be considered three times before being granted. The insidious reversal: Tax cuts = dangerous “spending”This is the reversal of any reasonable concept of property rights. In Müller's world, the citizen is not the owner of his income, but merely a temporary administrator of the state's claims. The tax authority is the true owner. That is why every relief measure becomes a “subsidy,” every tax cut becomes dangerous “spending,” and every refund becomes an inflation risk. A classic distortion: the thief complains that he is not allowed to keep what he stole without consequences.“We cannot subsidize every crisis in this world”Müller proudly emphasizes that they have already “returned 1.6 billion euros of taxpayers' money.” What generosity! At the same time, he warns against further steps because otherwise more debt would have to be incurred. Translated: We would rather let citizens continue to suffer than have the bloated state apparatus spend even one euro less. The priorities are clear – first come its own expenditures, its favored groups, green projects, and self-imposed international obligations. The commuter who pays 2.30 euros per liter in the morning comes last.Particularly cynical is the argument involving the crises of this world. Wars in the Middle East, Ukraine, the Red Sea route – all allegedly caused by politics and not by fate. But instead of radically reducing taxes and levies and leaving citizens with their own money so they can deal with the situation themselves, Müller declares: “We cannot use the taxpayer euro to subsidize all crises in this world.” Yet that is exactly what the state does constantly – just for other things. For ideological energy and heating subsidies, for billions sent around the world, and for a bloated administrative apparatus. Just not for its own taxpayers. The citizen is a subject whose earnings belong to the stateThe CDU, which once saw itself as the party of the market economy and private property, has completely adopted this attitude. Whether SPD, Greens, or CDU – the differences are marginal. They all share the basic assumption: The citizen is a subject whose earnings belong to the collective (meaning: the state). The competition authority is now supposed to investigate the “evil” oil companies. Possibly! Maybe! Without any clarity as to whether the companies would have to pay even a single cent, when that might happen, or whether even a fraction of it could reach citizens again or would simply disappear into state coffers. The biggest driver of prices – the state itself with its 51 percent share – remains untouched. Oligopoly? Yes. But the most dangerous oligopoly is the political-bureaucratic cartel formation in Berlin.Politics against the peopleSepp Müller and those like him have nothing concrete to offer citizens. No clear figures, no price cap (which supposedly does not work), no immediate fuel discount. Instead, there are vague hints about “seven tools in the toolbox” and appeals for patience. Meanwhile, the money continues to be collected. This is not politics for the people; this is politics against the people.State-sanctioned racketeeringIt is time to call this attitude by its name: state-sanctioned racketeering. Our money belongs to us. Not to the state. Anyone who sees it differently, like Sepp Müller, has long since betrayed the fundamental principle of a free society. And that is precisely why such politicians do not deserve our trust – but rather our strongest opposition.Politicians are the employees of the people, not the guardians of the people who decide what the people, the citizens, are allowed to do with their hard-earned money and what they are not allowed to do.
