Germany marks 20 years as a reunified nation
Sunday October 3rd marks the 20th anniversary of the German reunification. The article talks about the views on the reunification and the acceptance of the "solidarity tax" which is a tax for the rebuilding of East Germany. However, even though 20 years have passed and money is still flowing into East Germany, the region is still not fully developed. As the article and the news cast video discusses, many people move to West Germany for employment and currently only the older population chooses to reside in the East.

I don't blame the west for being upset that all their tax monies are going to the east. However, in the long run this "solidarity tax" is needed for the country to continue to grow.
