Taro,

You have a misunderstanding of what the basic tenets of socialism are. For example, Hitler did not nationalize many segments of the German economy, relying instead upon corporate organizations to do his biding. This is not socialism. This is corporatism.

W/R/T high wages for soldiers, this is no indication of socialism. It is an indication of militarism. In the illegal U.S. occupation of Iraq today, we face a similarly evil situation, though perhaps even worse. George Bush is paying many mercenaries huge salaries at the expense of average Americans. I find it completely galling that families struggling to make ends meet in the Heartland are expected to pay huge income taxes (since they are picking up the burden as the super-rich walk away from their obligations to society) while these mercenary freaks earn in excess of $100,000 per annum, most of which is free of Federal Income tax.

The American taxpayer is being played fo a chump by Bush, the mercenaries and the despicable war-profiteering contractors like KBR, Bechtel, Custer-Batttles, Blackwater, CACI, etc.

Watch your pocket being picked by the War Profiteers:
