In National Socialism, the government owns the businesses but allows private management of the business to make it look like it's a free market.
Because GM and Chrysler are owned by the government, that makes more than half of the American market government-controlled under private managers...Ford is not a threat to the government, but falls victim to whatever the government dictates for that market (such as unrealistic fuel standards).
The government now has the banks, transportation, they're going for health care, energy and attacking the food industries with the new laws about home gardening being open to FDA inspection and attempts to make vitamins/supplements available by prescription only.
Anyone who cannot see this country screaming toward National Socialism is blind, uneducated, and apathetic...the perfect slave.
Definition of a slave: one who is not permitted to keep the fruits of his/her labor
