Wichtiger wäre die Gesundheitsvorsorge zu fördern und selbstverantwortlich gesünder zu leben.
Pensions for married couples
For married couples, the pension is currently limited to 150% of the maximum individual AHV pension (capping). Should this limit be eliminated?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Die Plafonierung auf 150% wirkt zu stark. Angemessen wäre eher 180% oder je eine eigene Rente.

Die heutige Lösung ist angemessen. Wer mehr Urlaub möchte, soll sich das privat organisieren.
Further encourage the construction of social housing
Should the federal government provide more financial support for public housing construction? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Der Staat soll nicht pauschal in die Privatwirtschaft eingreifen. Damit wird Wohnen nur noch teurer wie die Praxis zeigt. Sozialfälle, die sich aus einem nachvollziehbaren Grund keine angemessene Wohnung leisten können, sollen direkt unterstütz werden.

Nur, wenn die Abgabe an die Bevölkerung zurückverteilt wird («Lenkungsabgabe»). Zucker verursacht heute grosse Gesundheitsschäden und Folgekosten für die Gesellschaft, welche alle mitfinanzieren müssen. Der Mensch reagiert nur über Portemonnaie.

Der Bundesart muss in Notsituationen rasch und weitgehend uneingeschränkt reagieren können. Allerdings sollte neu das Parlament besser einbezogen werden.

Should the federal government raise the requirements for the gymnasiale matura?

Zuviele nehmen haute den gymnasialen Weg, ohne im gewachsen zu sein. Ein verheerender Trend für die Schweiz. Man sieht in Frankreich und südlichen Ländern, wohin das führt.

Comment
Staatlich verordnete Mindestlöhne führen früher oder später zu Schwarzarbeit. Die Arbeitnehmer sind dann weder kranken- noch unfallversichert und auch nicht in der AHV und BVG. Der Rechtssaat zerfällt. Vgl. Länder, welche Mindestlöhne kennen, schon in Deutschland ist das ein Problem. Mindestlöhne sind kontraproduktiv.
Regulate the financial sector more strictly
Do you support stricter regulations for the financial sector (e.g., stricter capital requirements for banks, ban on bonuses)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Jeder ist selbst verantwortlich, wo er sein Geld anlegt und wo er arbeitet. Mehr Regulierung nach 2009 (UBS-Fall) hat den Fall der CS (2023) nicht verhindert. Solche Firmenmuss man in diesen Krisenfällen Konkurs gehen lassen, wie andere Unternehmen ja auch.

Achieve climate targets through incentives
To achieve climate targets, should incentives and target agreements be relied on exclusively, rather than bans and restrictions?

Der Mix ist entscheidend und wo welches Instrument wie angewendet wird. Sicher sind Subventionen des Teufels und neue Steuern statt Lenkungsabgaben.

Wir leben heute 16 Jahre länger im Vergleich zu 1948 (Einführung der AHV), haben aber immer noch dasselbe Rentenalter 65. Mit drei Jahren (von den 16) länger arbeiten wäre die AHV definitiv saniert. Die Erhöhung ist sozial und wirtschaftlich verträglich zu gestalten. SP-Bundesrätin Ruth Dreifuss hat es vorgemacht: Die Wirtschaft und die Frauen konnten unter ihr die Erhöhung des Frauenrentenalters von 62 auf 63 (2001) und auf 64 (2005) problemlos bewältigen. Viele arbeiten schon heute länger.
