Well not every country is Germany. Dunno what to tell you there.

The second half of that also sounds unhinged.



Developers want to develop, not play around with taxes.

Most sensible choice in my country is hiring an accountant to do those taxes. It is quite affordable (you pay monthly fee)


Developers live in the real world like the rest of us, and they shouldn't give away free labor on things that they deserve to get paid for.

Sure, hire an accountant. Either way, charge the companies and stop doing free work. This isn't rocket science.


You aren't wrong on either; Germany's tax law is insanely complex but also many people don't want to change the tax law as they can deduct a million and one things.


Including companies! I love my deductions (not in germany though)

Since Hacker News also centers on entrepreneurship: I know quite some entrepreneurs in Germany who think this way about the bureacratic chicanery that companies have to handle, and already thought about whether hiring a hitman for these politicians would be a good idea. The hate for the political caste in Germany among many people is insane.


These laws may very well be terrible, but no need to mention on an internet forum you want to help (hire?) someone to mass murder people involved in making them. Jokes and sarcasm don't always land as intended.

As to a more constructive path: bureaucracy all over EU is definitely considered a big problem (for startups, and for many others) and there are a bunch of movements aimed at addressing them at all kinds of levels. For example look at the eu acc movement.


One should hire an accountant to handle the bureaucracy, and of course charge enough to make that viable. And you should stop airing your murderous dreams in public, that's disturbed no matter your feelings towards politicians.


This is very entertaining. "Sir, this is a Christian website".


"My god, a slight hyperbole! Let me run over to my jewelry box and get some pearls to clutch!"


Startup founders dislike any regulation that doesn't let do heinous stuff to earn some money, so I'm not really sympathetic with their plight honestly.
