Liberalism today demands heavy progressive and graduated income taxes.
3  | "Abolition of all rights of inheritance."  | "That all unearned income, and all income that does not arise from work, be abolished."  | Liberalism today demands a "death tax" on anyone inheriting an estate.

6  | "Centralisation of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State."  | "We demand that there be a legal campaign against those who propagate deliberate political lies and disseminate them through the press...editors and their assistants on newspapers published in the German language shall be German citizens...Non-German newspapers shall only be published with the express permission of the State...the punishment for transgressing this law be the immediate suppression of the newspaper..."  | Central control of the press. Liberals today demand control or suppression of talk radio and Fox News.
7  | "Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labour in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, &c, &c."  | "In order to make it possible for every capable and industrious German to obtain higher education, and thus the opportunity to reach into positions of leadership, the State must assume the responsibility of organizing thoroughly the entire cultural system of the people. The curricula of all educational establishments shall be adapted to practical life. The conception of the State Idea (science of citizenship) must be taught in the schools from the very beginning. We demand that specially talented children of poor parents, whatever their station or occupation, be educated at the expense of the State. "  | Central control of education, with an emphasis on doing things their way. Liberals today are doing things their way in our schools.
