A few things that are common to all fascist regimes-those of hitler,mussolini,franco,soeharto, pinochet-and saddam hussain.Let's not leave out the best-dubya. Constant use of patriotic mottos,slogans,symbols,songs. Flags are seen everywhere. Disdain for human rights. Because of fear of enemies,(largely invented),people are persuaded that human rights can be ignored. People tend to look the other way or even approve. Identification of enemies or scapegoats  eople are unified into a patriotic frenzy over the perceived need to defend themselves against a common foe.Supremacy of the military(which receives a disproportionate amount of funding) Obsession with national security. Fear is used as a motivational tool. Corporate power is protected,labour power is suppressed. Unions eliminated or suppressed. Sound familiar? Huey Long said it best-"When fascism comes to the us, it will come wrapped in the american flag." Huey Long was right and so was George Orwell.

MP, It works much the same here, however if they think you owe them money then they get it every way possible and that includes debiting bank accounts that they think may have some of your money in them. In general they won't arrest you until all other possibilities have been exhausted. A couple of years ago, after a property sale, the money was placed in a joint investment account, while I was waiting for an opportunity to buy another property. Interest at the time was over 10% so I made and declared quite a sum of money over a 15 month period. As it spanned two tax years and the second year the declared sum was much less that the former, so the tax man got suspicious. For the next couple of years until I had my day in court, the taxation man kept taking any money that was put into my savings accounts and half the money in a joint account periodically, even though in the end he had siezed more than 3 times the declared sum of the first year. After the litigation I got the money back, but it made life very hard for a while. Incidently the sleazy little tax man made the smart comment leaving the court that I had won this time. Basically they can do as they please. Kind regards,
