Planned Economy or Planned Destruction?

Campaign For Liberty — Planned Economy or Planned Destruction?: "How anyone could believe all the lies about capitalism and business and then believe that an omnipotent government knows all the answers, has no corruption, and will 'protect' us is beyond me. I am much more afraid of a tyrannical government than any private business. Virtually ALL evil throughout the history of the world was purported by governments, not the free market. Nazi Germany, Stalin, Mao, Castro et cetera were all oligarchies - not bastions of laissez-faire capitalism.

The ONLY way a business can harm the people is with government privilege that FORCES the people to use their product or service through some government act, legislation, or coercion. Otherwise, market forces come into effect and bad, evil, inefficient business would go away because people, voting with THEIR money, will in effect vote them out of existence by not patronizing that particular business."
