Morse makes an important point about how the Nazis rolled major corporations into government client entities. What is scary is that this same kind of goverment/corporate "partnering" is a included feature in the growth of big government in America. The expanding cenrtral goverment is gaining more and more control over what used to be free enterprise through increasing use of forded incentives and manipulative regulations.

It's no accident that as the size of the government, most especially the Federal one, has grown, the number of producers in given market has shrunk. When I was in high school we had the Big 4 automakers, and not long before that we had the Big 3 and serval little guys, now we have the Big 2, plus foreign owned companies. Will Chrysler go the way of American Motors? I wouldn't be too surprised it it did, even though the Germans are better managers and engineers than the French ever thought of being. (Renault bought American Motors. Have you seen a Rambler, Javelin, Marlin, Hornet or Gremlin lately? Or even a Renault for that matter?)

In liberal Massachusetts, this is the economic ideal. certain corporate interests that obey the sate legislature will get tax breaks and deals while Small business men and other un-cooperative corporations are barred from a true "Free-market."

In addition, Mass is not an economic entity that can support itself. It uses Keynesian economics to get the rest of the country to support massive projects in Mass. Yes, it does work but that does not change the fact that Mass would crumble if we could not force the rest of the country to siphon capital into the state.

I have frequently said that the situation up here is getting more fascist by the year and although I call them Commies, the label of Fascist is more accurate. They proclaim "Globalism," up here but the interests of the State come first IMHO.

God, such a great state has truly fallen to a very dishonorable condition... and they are PROUD of it.
