He's a fascist.  Article by Thomas Sowell.

From the article above...

...government control of the economy, while leaving ownership in private hands. That way, politicians get to call the shots but, when their bright ideas lead to disaster, they can always blame those who own businesses in the private sector.

Politically, it is heads-I-win when things go right, and tails-you-lose when things go wrong...

...What socialism, fascism and other ideologies of the left have in common is an assumption that some very wise people – like themselves – need to take decisions out of the hands of lesser people, like the rest of us, and impose those decisions by government fiat...


Sounds  like the way much of Elk County government has been run for the last several years.  Father (or mother) knows best.

      Sounds like the way a family unit works here in Frostbite Falls.
