90 years ago. Which is why the fascists think they can get away with it now. Who's around who remembers? And THIS is why you tell your kids about the past. "It was before my time" should never be an excuse for ignorance.

We zijn blij dat de bezuinigingen op sociale zekerheid van tafel zijn maar de voorstellen van het minderheidskabinet zijn niet sociaal genoeg. Ze leggen de rekening bij gewone mensen. De belasting op arbeid gaat omhoog terwijl de allerrijksten miljarden belastingvoordeel krijgen. Dit moet eerlijker.
