Whoever said we are now all national socialists knew what he was talking about. No, I don’t mean the political philosophy of dictatorship. But I do mean the economics of a crade to grave socialist state.

According to a Monday, June 13, 2011 article in the Wall Street Journal, “Europeans Found Taxed Heaviest: Russia Rich Have Lightest Load”, national socialism is still alive and kicking in Western Europe sixty-six years after the end of World War II in 1945. Italy supposedly has the highest tax rate, but no one pays taxes in Italy. Germany is number 2, which means they’re really number one. A citizen earning the equivalent of $200,000.00/year in Germany keeps only 56% of what he earns. That means he pays nearly $100,000.00 in taxes! In the U.S. a similar person keeps 69.9% and in Britain 60.9%.

Hitler would have been comfortable with such statistics.
