I don't think Germany has at-will employment. Plus all the taxes to feed people who don't want to work.

That’s a very bad representation of the German reality of long term unemployment caused by the lack of availability of jobs.

The majority of welfare recipients in Germany are working people who are underpaid and/or underemployed.

What your taxes are really paying for is keeping the economic system with the largest low-wage sector in Europe going.

Think about that before yapping about „people who don’t want to work“.
