Comment
Was ist Ihr Verständnis von Staat? In der Schweiz sind die Kantone eigenständige Staaten, die Ausgaben eines Kantons werden Staatsausgaben genannt. Oder meinen Sie den Bund? Der ist aber für Gesundheit nicht zuständig - das sind die Kantone. Daher: Nein zu dieser Frage.
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?

Ich empfinde eine solche Lösung als krasse Diskriminierung derjenigen Bevölkerung, die keine Kinder haben können.

Comment
Reduktion der bürokratischen Vorschriften und schikanösen Verwaltungsabläufen würde genügen. Zudem ist dies eine Aufgabe der Gemeinde, allenfalls der Kantone. Haben Sie sorge um den Föderalismus - er ist durch links-grüne-lieberale Zentzralisten gefährdet!

Jeder Mensch soll die Freiheit haben, selbst zu entscheiden, ob er oder sie sich impfen lassen will. Der Staat muss sich aus solchen Fragen raushalten.

Limit the powers of the Federal Council in the event of a pandemic
Should the Federal Council's ability to restrict private and economic life in the event of a pandemic be more limited?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Die vergangene Pandemie hat gezeigt, dass der Bund zu unsorgfältig mit den Hilfsgelder umgesprungen ist. Ein Geschäft, welches schon ein Jahrzehnt alt ist, muss doch genügend Reserven haben, um die Ausqwirkungen einer Pandemie zu überstehen. Diese materielle Hilfe führt zu immer grösseren Forderungen an die öffentlichen Kassen.

Comment
Was ich im Grossen Rat bereits 2005 gesagt und prophezeit habe, ist eingetreten: Die einzelne Lehrperon ist angesichts der Breite des Leistungsangebots in der Klasse überfordert. Starke Schüler langweilen sich, hängen ab. Mittelere kommen geradeso mit und die schwachen Schüler sind überfordert.

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

Ja, unbedingt. Es ist ein Unding, die Maturitätsquote Jahr um Jahr zu eröhen. Wir sollten das duale System dagegen stärken.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Hier wird gleich zweifach ungenau formuliert. Gewollt oder ungewollt? 1. Gleiche Bildungschancen gibt es nicht, da alle Menschen anders sind. Wahrscheinlich meinen Sie gerechte Bildungschancen, d.h. die vorhandenen Eigenschaften gerecht zu entwickeln. 2. Staat wird wieder für Bund verwendet, dabei ist die Bildung Sache der Kantone. An die Verfasser dieser Frage: Bitte berücksichtigen Sie den Föderalismus!

Comment
Allein die Tatsache, dass einige Fragen hier im smartvote den Schluss zulassen, den Verfassern seien Begriffe wie Subsidiarität und Föderalismus in der Schweiz in der Funktion nicht so geläufig, was ja bei eingebürgerten Personen der Fall sein könnte. Eine weitere Erleichterung ist deshalb entschieden abzulehnen.

Angesichts der seit Einführung der AHV und des BVG stark gestiegene Lebenserwartung sowie wegen der jahrelangen Tiefzinspolitik tiefen Kapitalerträge müssen die Ausgaben gekürzt und die Einnahmen gesteigert werden. Idealerweise mit einer Mischung von beidem.
