I suggest you learn what national socialism is by generic definition instead of relying on whatever fiction you believe. The use of 'left wing' was merely an attempt on my part to have you understand by trying to fit it into the terms the typical binary thinking american can grasp because they were taught that nazism = national socialism = right wing, which of course is so simplistic as to be very misleading. I would suggest looking at both words separately. What nationalism is and what socialism is. Maybe you're young enough to do compulsory service for your country, for the good of your country as Obama so said he wishes to implement while his economic team redistributes the wealth 'around'. This is supposed to be "change" from rallying around the flag and 'supporting the troops' while GWB's team redistributed the wealth 'around'. 'around'=those with the proper political connections. nationalism + socialism = national socialism. It's very simple. |

Corporations pay income tax at a rate of 7.5% to 15%. |

I suggest you read up on who wrote the federal reserve act. Hint: they didn't set up the monetary and credit system to benefit anyone but themselves and they weren't poor people. > |

Actually, that second 'equals' should be 'is a subset of' for your statement to be correct. While all Nazis are right wing, all right wingers are not Nazis. At least, not while anyone's watching. I would suggest looking at both > words separately. What nationalism is and what socialism is.

It's very simple. Funny, the "National Socialists" jailed real socialists. What now? |

Corporations pay > income tax at a rate of 7.5% to 15%. the horse's mouth: http://www.liechtenstein.li/en/eliec...e_personen.htm "Assuming a municipal tax surcharge of 200%, the minimum and maximum tax rates are as follows: at least 0.162% and at most 0.8505% for asset tax; at least 3.24% and at most 17.01% for income tax." That's the bottom line. All the other figures are based on their 'tax unit' various screwy methods of calculation that appear only to be riveled by cook county IL property taxes. |

There have also been 'socialist' and 'communist' political parties where there particular implementations do change the meaning of the words. > The use of 'left wing' was merely an attempt on >> my part to have you understand by trying to fit it into the terms the >> typical binary thinking american can grasp because they were taught >> that nazism = national socialism = right wing, which of course is so >> simplistic as to be very misleading. > Actually, that second 'equals' should be 'is a subset of' for your > statement to be correct. While all Nazis are right wing, all right wingers > are not Nazis. At least, not while anyone's watching. Read it again clueless. I was describing what people are taught in US government schools, not what is reality. I quite clearly state that such a teaching is misleading. Do try to read for understanding. > I would suggest looking at both >> words separately. What nationalism is and what socialism is. > Went though that about 1996 or thereabouts,.after running into right wing > k00khauses that try to pass the Nazis off as lefties. Like I figured, you're caught up in left-right nonsense. >> Maybe you're young enough to do compulsory service for your country, >> for the good of your country as Obama so said he wishes to implement >> while his economic team redistributes the wealth 'around'.

It's very simple. > > Funny, the "National Socialists" jailed real socialists. What now? As if what was done in one impelementation changes anything. Socialists jail other socialists, what's your point? Centralized power has to jail its opposition when ever it can, it's the nature of the beast. How much or how little they differ in idealogy is irrelevant. Democrats and Republicans are barely different in idealogy in the US of A yet they attack each other frequently to the point of being jailed in some cases. |

Corporations pay > income tax at a rate of 7.5% to 15%. Yes, and how much total? http://wikitravel.org/en/Lichtenstein "Low business taxes - the maximum tax rate is 20% - and easy incorporation rules have induced a large number of holding or so-called letter box companies to establish nominal offices in Liechtenstein, providing 30% of state revenues." Clearly a revenue model that could be exported everywhere. =) |
