    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:

    No, but UKs highest rate of tax was 23.7% during World War 2 - how come right now it's 40% or even 45%???
