The German people were saddled with war reparations debts from WW I that crippled their economy and snuffed out their ambitions.
Wrong. The German people had contempt for democracy long before the war, much like the contempt for democracy that the conservatives in the US are developing now. So for, the American conservatives don't have an
excuse like war debts. When they do, you'll be goose-stepping down the street with your swastika armband and stiff-arm salute.

You're just harping on the same old same old without making the slightest attempt to back up your claims.

I keep telling you, social programs are not a drain on the economy. They boost the economy. They make more taxpayers.

There's your problem right there. You don't respect democracy for its own sake. You don't respect democracy because it's the overall best system. You only respect democracy "as long as" it makes YOU better off (in your own misguided perception).

Idiot. The poor COULD pay if you would stop robbing them.
Come all of you cowboys all over this land,
I'll teach you the law of the Ranger's Command:
To hold a six shooter, and never to run
As long as there's bullets in both of your guns.
