The suddenly spotlighted “Stand Your Ground” laws that are sprouting up all over America, along with efforts to eliminate state unions, movement toward private prisons such as CCA, attacks on Planned Parenthood and even questions about contraception are all indications of fascism at work in the United States. The question remained, who is behind all this? Now finally comes a finger pointing. Whose finger? Paul Krugman. He doesn’t mention the Koch brothers, but they are the forces behind their cover, which Krugman is beginning to remove. Krugman's finger points to the American Legislative Exchange Council or ALEC, which now numbers at least 2,400 state legislators as members across the United States. ALEC has been associated with attempts to privatize functions normally performed by government. ALEC wants to turn those operations into profit-making work. Theoretically, taxes will go down but people will pay more for services previously provided by government employees and some company will make a profit from that.
