(Community Matters) I had to post a reader’s comment to my posting on Conscious Capitalism:
<<John Mackey may be a true libertarian, but that doesn’t make him any less wrong about what he said or what he meant.
He claimed to be using the “standard dictionary definition” of “fascism.” I don’t know which dictionary he was consulting, but neither of the ones I checked, Webster’s Third New International (the standard for American English) or the OED (the standard for British English), defines “fascism” in any way remotely akin to Mackey’s erroneous explanation.

reviewing the US Constitution: “All bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills”
