Since the Nazis received such a large percentage of the popular vote in Germany, how did the "capitalists" put him in power. It is clear from your statements that you are ignorant of these matters. They were dealt with in the mainstream media (NY Times, etc.) - no friends of Laissez Faire - recently, and it was found that big businesses did not support the Nazis until it became apparent that they were going to be in charge. For those who are interested, relevant issues are discussed lucidly in Ludwig von Mises' Omnipotent Government. --------------------- Michael Sykora
