Title: NSDAP dues stamps

Message: I'm trying to find a reference on how much NSDAP (Nazi party) member dues were. A rate guide as such. I'm a revenue stamp collector and I have bought NSDAP revenue stamps with face value in excess of 150 RM and seen them as high as 197+ RM. That's around 200 hours of workers labor or $1,500 USD in todays money. I would like to know how such high value NSDAP dues stamps were used. I believe a members income or party rank determined a "dues bracket" similar to income tax brackets. The question is where is a reference to the members "dues brackets"? In the book Papers Please! by R & J Cowdery on page 86 it says contributions (dues) were 3 RM per month and Spenden (donations) & Hilfskasse (relief to needy members) was 30pf per month. That's 39.9 RM per year or around one weeks pay for most. There may have been a possibility for business membership although I never heard of this.
