Its a play on words, with the deadly nightshade plant. Poison is also the same play on words. And folks, this is why the "softer arts" are just as much needed, cause even simple literary artistic devices are /whoosh.

I think it'd be fair to say that Germany's govt does restrain more than the USA. HOWEVER, the very article title is "Why Germany Is Rich but Germans Are Poor and Angry", and the article discusses the usual extreme income
