"[My grandfather] came after having fought in World War I because Mussolini has been in power now for three years and had has figured out that Fascism was something that would crush his spirit and his freedom….And we have two parties that are out talking about how they’re going to solve those problems. One wants to talk about raising taxes on people who have been successful and redistributing money, increasing dependency in this country, promoting more Medicaid and food stamps and all sorts of social welfare programs and passing Obamacare to provide even more government subsidies. More and more dependency, more and more government — exactly what my grandfather left in 1925."

Rick Santorum

Yes, fascism is universal health care. That’s what I remember the most about Mussolini.

Especially because Mussolini didn’t introduce universal health care at all. Lets think about what he did do. He drastically lowered taxes on banking on industry, abolished the tax on luxuries, halved the tax paid by company directors and abolished inheritance tax. He privatized life insurance. He privatized the telephone network. (both of these were previously state owned) He made religious education compulsory in schools. He abolished trade unions. He promised to restore national pride and enforce strict law and order. He banned literature on birth control and increased penalties for abortion.

So yeah, this is what Santorum’s dad was running from - tax breaks for the rich, more power to corporations, religious education, union bashing, nationalism, harsh policing and ‘family values’. Sound familiar?
