The "progressives" who today masquerade as "liberals" may rant against "fascism"; yet it is their policy that paves the way for Hitlerism.

The German workers knew this tactic too well to be deceived by it again.

Ludwig von Mises

There is but one means available to improve the material conditions of mankind: to accelerate the growth of capital accumulated as against the growth in population.
