Dispatches: Taxing The Reich

[MarillionFan]

So you're suggesting Osborne introduce slave labour and concentration camps to get the economy going?

One way to control them dirty immigrants.

Out of interest checked taxation in the Third Reich, under Nazi regime:

"Unlike most other governments, the Nazis did not increase direct and personal taxes by any significant amount in order to fund the war.[citation needed] The top personal income tax rate in 1941 was 13.7% in Germany as opposed to 23.7% in Great Britain.[84]"

2 times higher income tax in UK now compared to WORLD WAR 2!!! Fecks sake - total war effort in Nazi Germany had nearly 4 times lower taxation than UK now.

The Nazi's just kind of cruised along until the Battle of Stalingrad at which point they realised things had turned against them. Too late in the day to turn things round.

Kind of wonder how things would have gone if the Krauts had got their economic act together in 1940/41....:nazi:

Zero Hours contracts

Aren't these a way of making the employment figures look better and gets around EU 'rules' regarding employment status?

[rl4engc]

how come right now it's 40% or even 45%???

Because back then people didn't have the choice of sitting on their fat unemployable arses and getting paid by the state for the privilege of doing so.
