(The cdu would prefer a flat contribution unrelated to income; the spd wants everyone to pay in, including some groups, such as the self-employed, who have thus far been exempt.) Merkel's government has set itself a deadline of the summer recess in July to come up with a draft compromise. The Chancellor must find a way to balance the egalitarian impulse of the spd, which could impose a heavier burden on employers and increase the cost of labor, against...
