On Wednesday the leaders meet. They represent the parties CDU, CSU and SPD. They want to decide on new rules. Rules mean changes in the law. This is called a reform. People pay money to the state. This is tax. The government wants to help people with low income. These people should pay less tax. The SPD wants a high tax for rich people. Rich people have much money. They should give more to the state. The Union says no to this tax.
There are also plans for the pension. The pension is money for old people. A group of experts makes plans. Friedrich Merz is the leader of Germany. He wants to use the plans. One topic is the retirement age. This is the age when people stop working. There is also the care insurance. This helps people who are sick. The parties still fight about this.
The job market also needs changes. Companies want fewer rules. The Union wants more freedom for firms. The SPD is careful. They want to protect the rights of workers. A tax expert gives a warning. He says the state has enough money.
