Angelus, I thought you were against the welfare state in the first 
place. It's a racist, nationalistic travesty, right?

And this Wikipedia article doesn't mention that the SPD has decided to 
rescind large parts of Hartz IV, under pressure from Lafontaine's Left 
Party, which is now Germany's top third party, polling at 12 percent, I 
think. (But Lafontaine is a racist, I guess you'd say.)
