Energyplay, Maybe it is a sort of "reverse fascism". But if so, it is a screwy strange sort of fascism that is different from the original and a sort of fascism I don't like at all. If the Nazis had been involved in the "global warming" tax, I would think that they would have teamed up with IG Farben and Krupp and would have tried to use the tax as a weapon against the English or the French and their other rivals. They would, I think, have wanted the English and the French to be bled dry with the tax but to have Germany exempt. But what we have here is the reverse. Our "leaders" want to tax us and give our greatest rivals in the world a pass. In the original "corporate state" big business was supposed to be held to a very rigid "social contract" in that in return for all sorts of government provided advantages they were to work tirelessly for the benefit of "The Nation" and to provide the very best for their workers and their customers within the nation. At the expense of foreigners, when possible. That part, I have some sympathy with. But what we have now in the USA seems to be almost the reverse of that. USA transnationals are given a pass to screw their domestic workers and even to poison their US customers. It is becoming a very strange "Brave New World". Slagle
