Warum genau reden hier ständig alle über Sozialbetrug? Cui bono? Steuerhinterziehung kostet die ehrlichen Steuerzahler jährlich weit über 100 _Milliarden_ Euro, also knapp _dreihundert mal_ so viel wie Sozialbetrug.

Das eigentliche Problem sind ja leichtgläubige Wähler, die gut finanzierte Parolen á la "Sozialschmarotzer" aufsaugen, anstatt zu schnallen, welcher Menschen Narrative sie da zu wiederholen manipuliert werden. Vielleicht wird ja deshalb so viel an Bildung gespart, damit sich da bloß nichts ändert?
