To the extent that's true, facism in one area, doesn't support fascism elsewhere. It rather makes each addition even more dangerous. And unless they've gone bankrupt the feds aren't paying the pensions for their former employees, the feds would just a bailout (which you provide no details about, but I won't argue its not happening, the feds bail all sorts of companies out), which is also bad, but which is a different thing then paying out the retirement benefits for them. As for placing a burden on the post office, the post office is placing a burden on the government. As for "raping the sheeple", Fed-Ex and UPS have competition, and they don't get government bailouts. The same can not be said of the USPS. Don't like Fed-Ex, you can use UPS, don't like UPS, you can use DHL, don't like any of them, you can use some other company. Don't like paying for such deliveries at all, you can refrain from doing business with any of them. But if your a tax payer, you don't get out of federal support for the post office, and if you want to have first class mail delivered you can't go to a competitor. It'a all about corporate fascism Tim. No it mostly isn't. And to the extent it is, fascism requires government involvement. Keep the government out and you have no fascism (unless the companies or other groups are using so much force as to become a quasi government themselves, which isn't happening)
