Correct answer: Alle sollen gleich viel Geld haben. All people should have the same amount of money.

Why?

The Grundgesetz (Basic Law) protects human dignity (Article 1), equality before the law (Article 3) and freedom of expression (Article 5). It does not say that everyone should have the same amount of money. People’s incomes and wealth may differ.

Key term: Menschenwürde = human dignity
