The Company That Runs Everything*

raving on the phone today, i semi-involuntarily quoted this article o’ mine. this week’s as good a time (until next year and the year after that) to recycle it.

The natural question to be asked regarding this proposal is, “What company will be chosen as The Company — the one entity which can smoothly envelop all existing companies while being trusted to deliver for the consumer?”

I submit that the natural choice, although there may be a constitutional hurdle or two, is the Federal Government of the United States of America. Just think about it. Most of the foundation is already in place, including convenient payment in exponential proportion (huzzah!) to your income, complete lack of itemization on your bill, and a fair distribution of the burden among all citizens.

Why does that ring a bell?

onward christian soldiers!
