His favourite book he said. I am impressed. 

[Hrvatski Noahid]

Why are you impressed? It is just a novel.

Have you read it? If yes, look at the situation today. In my country they just discuss the expropriation of landlords. As well they talk about forced loans on real estate in favour of the gouvernment. It is called "Lastenausgleichsgesetz". Minimum wage is already enacted. In addition regulations are over the top. I feel like working for the gouvernment, only thing left for me is the risk.
In my oppinion she has predicted the future very well. That Ted Cruz cited her, means that he sees the fundamental danger of freedom for the society as well as the consequences.

I didn't read it, but I owned a business. I know all about government regulations.

It becomes more and more. Even for workers. I have one employee that has no family and so a low tax-free amount. I give him everyday some money under the table otherwise he would have problems. The gouvernment insurances and the taxes steal half of his money. If I would raise his pay it would not help him, because the rates are progressive and everything becomes more expensive.
If you earn 50000 the year you pay more than half of your money to the gouvernment. You are then a high income person. It is a joke.
My father as an engineer in electrotechnic earned before twenty years 15000 Mark the month with more purchasing power. Today you pay for energy triple. A bun was converted 5 Cent. Today you pay 50. And more and more regulations are coming. Money away, freedom away. It is not funny. Soon everything will look like Detroit.

I work as a translator and English teacher. It frustrates me when I hear that older generations were able to afford this and that and I still don't have enough money to find a wife and have children. But the EU told me not to worry because the muslims will have children.   

Ich habe Deutsch in der Schule gelernt. Die Sprache gefällt mir.

It is hard. I know. Times will not get better. Don't give up. Find a wife, that will go through this situation with you. Not somebody who expects a made home. This you have to create together. Alone it is nearly impossible.

Thank you for the advice.
