In response to Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul's identification of corporatism as a soft form of fascism on the December 23 edition of NBC's "Meet the Press," I made this video offering my analysis of that danger and a possible solution.

"Do you agree with me that real public financing of political campaigns is the best solution to the corrupting influence of money on politics that Ron Paul was warning about?" It may not be the best solution, but it should certainly be on the short list of possible solutions to the problem of special interest corruption of our political process. Heck! We can't even get our campaigning and/or elected officials to discuss this issue, because they'd have to be questioning the system that's elected them or that they hope to be elected by.
"Is Ron Paul right that corporatism is a soft form of fascism representing the real threat of fascism in the U.S.?" Absolutely. Anyone who doesn't see this or can't admit it is simply not paying attention or choosing to look the other way.
