I think you're a fascist yourself sometimes Brelin.

Not to rain on your parade, but Haliburton is suffering financial
problems along with a subsidiary company that has evidently gone
bankrupt.  

As far as Cheney is concerned, he is receiving funds as part of a
guranteed pension plan that is similar to a plan former 
president Clinton is under.  I don't consider companies evil
because they are big enough to be corporations.  As far as feudalism
is concerned, workers have progressed a great deal since the middle
ages.

So what business did Hitler run?  Wasn't he just the head of a radical
political party that took it's platform a little too seriously?  Or
perhaps Brelin you don't consider Hitler a historic fascist figure.
