Where does Karl Schmidt stand?
Karl Schmidt lives in the rich steel-producing Ruhr Valley. He has a wife and 2 kids. Unfortunately he lost his job because of the depression. Karl realizes that the owners of the steel mills still live in big houses and drives expensive cars. Karl wonders " Why are they protected from the depression and I am not?" Karl wishes his government did more for him. I think that he would vote for the Social Democratic Party because the party promises to create more jobs by undertaking an extensive program of public works. Karl's experience working in the steel industry means he would have a good chance of securing a job under this program. Karl, as an unemployed citizen, also appreciates the SDP policy that will provide unemployment compensation for up to six months. I believe Karl would want a better life for his family in the future and he likes the fact that the SDP allows him to have a say in how his country is governed.
