Answer 2

When even a congress decides what you can and cannot have; how much of it you can keep, and what is yours rightfully.

Creation of social intolerance; based upon some new "factoid" that only in it's infancy.

Answer 4

Fascism is the form of government that we are now under in the United States. Basically it occurs when large multibillion dollar corporations form oligopolies and even merge into monopolies, and then buy the candidates that they want to serve in office; candidates that will do the bidding of the corporation (consider Cheney, former CEO of Halliburton and the fact that Halliburton gets all of the no-bid contracts in Iraq, New Orleans, etc.).

Basically, you have the government and the corporations in cahoots, and the people have no power or checks and balances over the government whatsoever. Then to make matters worse, the corporations/government gain control of the media outlets (TV, books, magazines, textbooks, newspapers) and they keep people distracted from the main issues so that they (the corporations) can maintain their stranglehold on the government and the people.
