    It was Horst Seehofer’s last. The CSU Chairman said at signing of Coalition treaty that new government would be “a great coalition for Little People”. Social Democrats, AfD politicians, journalists and economists are also backing “Little People”. They are considered to be ultimate addressee for correctness, on one hand, as overlooked and silent.

    We have met four people who earn little money and work in professions that hardly Ansehengenießen. Do you count yourself, do you feel “small”? And waserwarten you from politics?

    Hakki A, 30 years

    This is my everyday life: I go insBett early in morning. Maybe sleep six hours. Then I sit down to learn. At 3.30 pm, my two children come from daycare, I can spend a little time with m. At 5.30 pm I go to school, on a abendgymnasium I am just doing my abitur. At 9.30 pm, DerUnterricht is over. Time for me to get in car. Now my time as a taxi driver begins. Until early morning.

    I’ve been selbstständigerTaxifahrer for nine years now. I was born as a Kurd in Turkey. I grew up inSalzgitter. At end of 2007 I moved to Berlin. I’ve just finished my Abitur, but I didn’t use that. I had no vitamin B, I alsobin nowhere to come in. I worked in an internet café, in an ice cream café too. For a while I had to live on unemployment benefits. I have also EineWeiterbildung, such a support to training. Dannwurde, I’m a taxi driver.

    The money just lasts until end of month. If I Abitur in 2019 I hope I would like to study Magisterium, Besondersgerne history. Because you can learn: “Little people” do not exist. Just stamping people like that is worst thing you can do. I’m probably looking at politics or seeing rich people as “small”. But I’m trying to do everything for society. I pay taxes, I care for my bookkeeping. In 2016 I had to pay over 10,000 euros in taxes. How much tax does Apple actually pay in Germany?

    if ( typeof AdController !== ‘undefined’ !window.Zeit.isMobileView()) { if ( !document.getElementById( ‘iqadtile4’ ) ) { var elem = document.createElement( ‘div’ ); elem.id = ‘iqadtile4’; elem.className = “ad ad-desktop ad-desktop–4 ad-desktop–4-on-article”; elem.setAttribute(‘data-banner-type’, ‘desktop’); document.getElementById(‘ad-desktop-4’).parentNode.appendChild(elem); AdController.render(‘iqadtile4’); if ( window.console typeof window.console.info === ‘function’ ) { window.console.info(‘AdController ‘ AdController.VERSION ‘ tile 4 desktop’) } } } if ( typeof AdController !== ‘undefined’ window.Zeit.isMobileView()) { if ( !document.getElementById( ‘iqadtile4’ ) ) { var elem = document.createElement( ‘div’ ); elem.id = ‘iqadtile4’; elem.className = “ad ad-mobile ad-mobile–4 ad-mobile–4-on-article”; elem.setAttribute(‘data-banner-type’, ‘mobile’); document.getElementById(‘ad-mobile-4’).parentNode.appendChild(elem); AdController.render(‘iqadtile4’); if ( window.console typeof window.console.info === ‘function’ ) { window.console.info(‘AdController ‘ AdController.VERSION ‘ tile 4 mobile’) } } }

    I’m kinda angry with term little people. Rectedbefore you might want to make good use of it, it is completely problematic. If politicians want to address se people, y should put sichmal in ir position. They’re supposed to put mselves in a kebab shop and cut ten hours of kebab. or times for a few weeks washing dishes in a restaurant. Taxi and go with whole Gästenauseinandersetzen. No one wants to do this to his body.

    I’m not ashamed to be a taxi driver. One should be ashamed of Sichnicht for his work or be treated with shit. AberTaxifahrer are not very recognized. Hence description of small people: society has shaped it. This is what I notice in taxi again and again, wenneinige guests are not even able to say “good day”. Some wonder Sichauch when y hear me talking. “Why are you a taxi driver, you can speak dochso well?” But I also have to say that I keep having great conversations with guests. They’ll stay in my head when I drive Nachtsdurch Berlin.

    At moment business is as quiet as ever in my nine years alsTaxifahrer. Calm means I barely earn money. Guilt, so MeineMeinung, is Uber. I feel abandoned by politics. Uberbenutzt gaps in passenger transport law in order to be able to expand ir own business. It’s getting worse. But politics is getting quieter. How long SollenTaxifahrer still live from your work? That’s also one reason why I’m going to jetztaufs evening High school. But if that would make all little people – Werwürde n do ir jobs?
