inequality?
The motivated vs. the lazy
In this country, anyone with motivation can get ahead.
If you are a weak minded individual, you may find yourself in a precarious position.
If you are strong then you may find yourself on top.
Even a Troll like Reich can find himself on top.
For the evolusionist, this should make perfect sense because "only the the strong survive"
in this day & age strength is an embodiment of muscle & mind.
RACE has nothing to do with it!

What do you call a state with no tax base?

Here in California a tax revolt has begun.

Started when the state sent out IOUs to 10 million residents here who had tax rebates coming. Counties joined in and they are not remitting taxes collected for the State because the state has not sent the counties the money they are owed.
So what is happening is, individuals and counties are in a Mexican stand off with regard to taxes.
Can't be too long before people increase the number of dependents they say

they have, promising to settle up with the government later (federal government).
People don't want to pay for this redistribution of wealth because it is unfair and destined to fail anyway.
What happens when people don't pay their taxes? Millions of people? Do they round them up and put them in jail? Does the fed just start printing money to pay the bills, causing inflation? Does it become like Russia was, Gov't pretends to pay people and people pretend to work?

Ridiculous- the taxes to rebuild roads, infrastructure is a tax collected by GASOLINE!

Sickening really.

To repeat, the Nazi's used the term 'Socialist' as a trick to dupe the unwitting.

You seem to have fallen for it.

Socialism is not about limited individual freedom. It is about providing the most benefit to the most people.

Education for all, health care for all. These are things the major modern states of the world have accomplished.

Except for us because we are state capitalists and that is closer to fascism.

Nazis were strictly about war, death and destruction. And pillaging the world.

Socialism is not about limited individual freedom?? It is about providing the most benefit to the most people??
Every dollar they take from me through taxes is one less freedom I have! For what to support a bunch of assholes not willing to work as hard? Obama and his administration or no different then the Nazis there looking to pillage what has made this country great Capitalism.

One of the groups that fell for the socialist ruse of the Nazis were the brown shirts, Ernst Roehm's SA.

Hitler, who was an absolute totalitarian had no use for them and in July of 1934, during the so called 'night of the long knives' did away with Roehm and other potential adversaries.

Modern democratic Socialist countries have included the the Scandinavian
countries. France and England have both had socialist governments.

The Soviet Union is an example of State Socialism IE Communism.

The National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP), colloquially called Nazis, were not Socialists. They were as far from being Socialist as one could get. They used National and Socialist because the words were popular.

It was a trick. It worked. Many workers and unionists voted for them.

The first people that the put in their concentration camps were the communists and the socialists. Socialism is an economic system, Communism is a political system.
