    The German publicly funded journalism is a mandatory payment by everyone unrelated to their taxes

    What exactly is it that you think a tax is?

      Something that is automatically taken in proportion of either the value or your income

      I don’t think taxes can be a fixed amount

      Also it’s not the state that’s collecting it which also is a difference
