That is why I posted that excerpt from Patton's diary -he was there and putting this down in his diaries shows Europe the wat it truly was at the end of ww2-not some historian's watered down view . |

T-W...that is true, except the drive-by media won't tell anyone. The Euros also lowered corporate tax rates to 20 to 25% and flattened the individual tax rates. Some countries went to a flat rate (may Russia, and several others) and tax revenues are exploding as a result. And yet -- in the United States, I can hear the distant drum beat of socialism and 'fair' taxes. We have the 2nd highest corporate tax in the world (35 to 39 percent), and a very progressive tax rate at the individual level. They want it more progressive.....
