Another term for Arbeitslosengeld II, a term for a social security benefit that is around 400€ that - not only, but mostly - unemployed can get. 1/3 of people who could get it doesn't request it, because the system is very painful for them. E.g. they have to accept every job - no matter what - if they don't want less money. Also they have to explain themself a lot of times, etc. And often they get things they need really late (e.g. bus tickets for the month). Also 400€ is not really much in Germany. Those 1/3 who doesn't request HartzIV save Germany more than 20 billions Euro per year..
HartzIV hat ersetzt zu werden! (HartzIV needs to be replaced!)
HartzIV führt nur zu prekärer Arbeit, Armut und Existenzamt. (HartzIV only leads to precarious positions in work, poverty and existential angst.)
Wir wissen alles über HartzIV-Empfänger, jedoch kaum etwas über die Superreichen! (We does know everything about people who get HartzIV, but we doesn't know much about people who are extremly rich!)
