CDU-Haushälter Middelberg bläst zum Klassenkampf

CDU budget expert Matthias Middelberg is sparking controversy with his remarks about "fat rich people with fat cigars" and his calls for higher taxes on the wealthy. Critics accuse the deputy leader of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group of using language and arguments more commonly associated with the left wing of politics.
