Yes I'm sure. 
I've explained in detail--so has ABF--a good amount of Palpatine's motives. And you haven't even seen Episode III yet, which reveals much more as well as making sense out of the whole thing.
But Palpatine's motives (to put it simply): wanting to bring a galaxy back to its former glory and remove the incompetence that has controlled it for thousands of years, has many parallels to Hitler's. There is more to it than that, but I don't want to spoil Episode III for you. I suggest you wait until you see that movie, and if you are still unsatisfied then there is no hope for you.
In the OT, you learn all that you need to know about Palpatine for those movies. Nothing more is needed; simply adding more backstory to a character does not constitute great storytelling. You don't just give every person an elaborate background. But your ridiculous simplification of Palpatine does little to help your case.
