Angela Merkel vows no new taxes for Germany
21 August 2006BERLIN - Chancellor Angela Merkel said Monday her government did not plan any new tax increases other than next year’s already approved value added tax hike.
“Given the current situation I view tax increases as the wrong signal … more tax rises are not the right answer,” said Merkel at a news conference.
Voters chose her last year because she said she would cut taxes, not raise them, as she already has.
