Large companies in the US attempt to get the government to grant them special privilege, precisely as they do in European and Asian nations. By doing so, these corporations cease being creatures of the Right Wing (individual responsibility) and become creatures of the Left Wing (corporatist governance whether we name it socialism or communism or fascism). Me? I'm a rational anarchist so none of this means much to me at all: in my ideal world, the UN, ADM, GM, HUD, HHS, &c &c would all be begging for private funding, as, in my ideal woirld, there would be no government to give any of these entities a break. I am unaware of the total ADM foisting of NPR but I doubt if it is more than 3% or so. I will thank them while I shop organically ....
