Tax Forgiveness In a Dictatorship.

Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader read this on the news wire: Hitler Was a Tax Dodger, Researcher Finds.

Now aside from the obvious question of why anyone would care if Adolf Hitler paid his taxes or not there is another interesting question to ask here. Namely, if as the article says, Hitler used the Enabling Act of 1933 to forgive himself his prior tax debt can you really still call him a tax dodger? Really now. Think about it. If the IRS comes after you for taxes you owe, then you beat the IRS in tax court; you never really were a tax dodger. How is the Hitler case much different? In this case the Bavarian Government came after Hitler who allegedly owed back taxes. But when Hitler becomes dictator the tax office offers to forgive his back debt. He was forgiven. Great Jeezey Chreesey people.

Call Hitler what you like. (And your Maximum Leader likes to call Hitler a psychopathic-genocidal-criminal-against-humanity-one-decended-testicle-rot-in-hell-bastard.) But don't call Hitler a tax evader.

Carry on.
