That's Il Duce's definition of fascism: "Fascism should more properly  
be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate

I can't remember where I saw this -- wish I could claim it as an

suggested that politicians should have to wear the corporate logos of  
their sponsors, like NASCAR drivers do. THAT would be a hoot!
