Slouching to Fascism
I find it interesting and appalling that neither Andrew Leonard nor any of the posters have drawn the obvious conclusion from the damning data on income inequality. The real significance of the Patriot Act, Homeland Security, the Military Commissions Act, and the gutting of the Bill of Rights is to set up the requisite police state infrastructure to deal with the fact that such concentrations of wealth are unsustainable and have historically lead to uprisings. Capitalism in crisis turns to fascism.
