It's hardly "being a dick" to expect his government to provide better for its own citizens than it does for foreigners.
But it's not his government, it's the German government. How Germany chooses to spend its money is a matter for the German people, and not anyone else.
That may have been the case before the EU and the euro but now it appears that he should have a voice in the greater European continent. Also is it not essential that they all raise each others livelihood before giving massive amounts of cash towards non citizens? I think Japan has it right in this case regardless of what the guardian and other liberal media want to cram down everyone's throat.
I was referring to the EU, which is supposed to serve the interests of its member states -- a radical idea, it seems.
The member states have different interests.
He's comparing apples to orange tic tacs. Germany provides 140€ per month in cash to asylum seekers plus accommodation (usually a shared dorm room). He's in "a poorer European country" and apparently earns less. He's ignoring costs of living. 140€ is a pittance in Germany. It is much less than pensioners or unemployed get. I spend 3x as much on food.
I hold governments to higher standards than parents.
