I don't mean just the current administration. Since WW2 we have been moving more towards a corporate government. The people allow it as long as they get to have their toys. The price of gas is allowed to rise until the economy starts to suffer. Drug companies are allowed to sell faulty products. Wal-Mart can hire people with no health insurance so they go on Medicaid and we all pay for it.

But the situation you are describing is one of too little government intervention. In Fascism, those abuses you describe would not be allowed to happen because all industries would be far more tightly controlled by the government. Fascism is predicated on a highly interventionist government, high protectionism (economic autarky), rabid nationalism, and militarism.

Let's not forget than another major tenent of fascism is the regulation and elimination of personal liberties and political oppostion by the state. You know, the "my country, right or wrong" thing. We are well on the way...

No. It does very much sound like the European system though. Most of their money is taken away and controlled by their governments.

It is called capitalism dude. No one allows anything, it is a result of market forces.
