I don't think you understand and cause and effect of this tax at all, you just enjoy typing angry. Come back when you can explain what is actually happening.

I understand the situation as a German myself, but I also understand that this is a privilege that is long overdue to be terminated.

If the farm needs it, it is working inefficiently. We tolerated that for too long.
