In Animal Farm fashion, are corporations becoming "more equal" than individuals in our country? With rulings that recognize corporate rights to things like religious expression over individual rights and the GOP tax code treating corporations to better terms than individuals, it is starting to feel that way.

Perhaps, since the corporate tax rate is flat while the individual tax rates are quite progressive.

Giovanni Gentile (Mussoli's speech writer), wrote “Corporationism is above socialism and above liberalism. A new synthesis is created. It is a symptomatic fact that the decadence of capitalism coincides with the decadence of socialism. ... Corporative solutions can be applied anywhere.” This melding of corporate power and state is what fascism was based on.

'Starting to feel that way'? It is practically the standard operating procedure of capitalism.
