View source for Advertisement: Can Capitalism Survive Under Richard Nixon

The national Libertarian Party paid for the following ad to appear in the October 30, 1972 issue of Barron's magazine.

==CAN CAPITALISM SURVIVE UNDER RICHARD NIXON?==

During his first four years, President Nixon has run up a budget deficit of nearly $100 billion, imposed wage-price controls, and nationalized one major national industry (passenger railroads).  And he has indicated that when he is re-elected, he will press for even more radically anti-capitalist measures, such as the the so-called "Family Assistance Plan."

If he wins by a landslide (as there is every indication he will), he will have a free hand to push even further leftward ... unless those of us who believe in capitalism can muster a strong protest vote in November and keep organized afterwards, to fight for our beliefs.

The Libertarian Party was formed by and for people who believe in [[Laissez Faire|laissez faire capitalism]], for just these purposes.  The LP's first Presidential candidate is Dr. [[John Hospers]], Director fo the School of Philosophy at the University of Southern California.  His running mate is Mrs. [[Tonie Nathan]], a journalist from Eugene, Oregon.

If you'd like to send Nixon a message on November 7th -- a message that you still believe in capitalism, and oppose his increasingly collectivist policies -- cast your vote for Dr. [[John Hospers|Hospers]] and Mrs. [[Tonie Nathan|Nathan]].  If they're not on the ballot in your state, do it by write-in.

And if you'd like to help the Libertarian Party become a major force in American politics, your financial support would be greatly appreciated.  Membership is only $6 per year (Sustaining Membership, $12(m and includes a subscription to our monthly Newsletter, the "insiders' report" on pro-capitalist political action.  Larger contributions are welcomed.
