Liberal spiral of totalitarianism or liberal fascism in three easy steps
02/24/09
Well-intentioned, mostly. I'll use the car companies as an example:
1. Problem: Desire for higher wages and "equality," things that supposedly need regulating (some things do). Solution: Side with labor, regulation, taxes. Force compliance.
2. Problem: Car companies are uncompetitive, failing. Solution: Subsidize with tax-payer money. Force compliance.
3. Problem: Taxpayers want something in return for their investment. Solution: Require companies to have minimum and maximum (executive salary caps) wages. Require from the car company products that meet some sort of arbitrary or calculated public interest (fuel efficient cars, etc.) that probably wouldn't sell otherwise (or else they'd be made anyways, right?). Force compliance.
Voila! Liberal fascism!
