Sound Familiar?

One of the ways Hitler assured popular political support, despite his party's rabid ideology, was through a progressive taxation plan.  For example:

• The Nazi finance minister targeted the uppermost 4% of earners for a rate hike, 96% of the population enjoyed substantial tax cuts
• Taxed windfall profits at 94%
• Instituted a mandatory health insurance program
• Seized personal pension savings for a nationalized pension plan
• Vastly expanded family and child tax credits while transferring the tax burden to corporations

Some of these measure echo the rhetoric that brought a certain leader to power very recently.

Nothing overt implied.  Just saying...
