Have you read this?

>>government is the problem. Government keeps trying to pick winners and losers

What you fail to acknowledge is that what we're presently experiencing is merely another iteration of the same phenomena described by Salvemini in 1936:

In actual fact, it is the State, i.e. the taxpayer, who has become responsible to private enterprise. In Fascist Italy the State pays for the blunders of private enterprise. As long as business was good, profit remained to private initiative. When the depression came, the Government added the loss to the tax-payer's burden. Profit is private and individual. Loss is public and social."

--Under the Axe of Fascism, by Gaetano Salvemini, p. 416 (1936).

"In December 1932 a Fascist financial expert, Signor Mazuchelli, estimated that more than 8.5 billion lire had been paid out by the Government from 1923 to 1932 in order to help depressed industries (Rivista Bancaria, December 15th, 1932, p.1,007). From December 1932 to 1935 the outlay must have doubled."

--Under the Axe of Fascism, by Gaetano Salvemini (1936).

Our would-be Oligarchs presume the sheeple, being satiated with Bread and Circuses, have too short a memory and are too stupid to recognize that what's unfolding onstage is merely a post-modern remake of the same corporate-government fascist drama.

I will render unto Caesar what is his - but he is not my God, and I will not worship at the corporatist alter any more than America's founders would worship at the alter of the "church" of England.

Would you agree there should be separation between Corporation and State?

So, again:

Hey BP, GTHOOMC!, cause WE didn't vote for your monarchies!

Sorry, I was several replies into the thread and see now your comments were only relating to collectivism. And I have not read your link but will put it onto my list.

"What you fail to acknowledge is that what we're presently experiencing is merely another iteration of the same phenomena described by Salvemini in 1936"

I wasn't failing to recognize our current situation, I was simply trying to stay on the topic of corporate taxes.

"Would you agree there should be separation between Corporation and State?"

Yes, and my comments in this topic and every other, have consistently espoused this. The previous Bush administration (globalist) and current Obumanusim administration (socialist) are very, very troubling and depressing.
