if there's a separation of church and state they should pay like everyone else.

Oh, except corporations, they are above god and the law.

It's hardly a neologism,  but "The 5th Estate" is what I frequently call that seemingly defacto unholy alliance of Corporatism/Government/Intelligence. Of course as reported on Bushwatch:

[It was] Italian philosopher Giovanni Gentile who wrote the entry in the Encyclopedia Italiana that said: "Fascism should more appropriately be called corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power." (Mussolini, however, affixed his name to the entry, and claimed credit for it.)

As the 1983 American Heritage Dictionary noted, fascism is: "A system of government that exercises a dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of state and business leadership, together with belligerent nationalism."
