How? That's literally the point of taxes. To pool our resources and make things better for the community. But of course they've gone and made it their personal paycheck instead.

That's not what taxes are for if you are a National Socialist (AKA Nazi). In order to make and keep the state strong, they must eliminate the weak of mind and body so the strong can focus on moving the state forward. The weak are a drain of precious resources, after all.
I was particularly moved by the illustration of this in the Amazon series "The Man in the High Castle". It showed a scene in the first episode where a police officer explained the ash falling from the sky. It was Tuesday - the day the hospital burned the crippled.
What?
No! Surely not! I thought it was for glassing Middle Eastern cities and regime change in South America!
