Poll question: Privatization="Friendly" Fascism-True or False?
It's a simple enough question-it isn't totalitarian (yet) but the stench is all around US.

1. Privatization doesn't seem particularly friendly anything
because it's an equivalent word for "Stick 'em up, sucker!"

Privatization means the price goes up and the service goes into the toilet.

I'm shocked that someone would find any aspect of it "friendly."

Fascism is a loaded gun pointed at your head, making sure your actions will fill its needs.

2. Right. Losing your job, losing your home, paying hard-earned taxes to private corporations
not friendly at all.

4. What exactly is "friendly" about being told "the market tanked? too bad, so sad".

5. Again, I'm talking about the privatization of "the government"-which has led to "friendly" (not
totalitarian) fascism in The United States of America since these criminals in the administration of George Walker Bush were installed in January 2001.
