Where does Eric von Ronheim stand?

Briefly describe the person that you represented in today's activity. Then, state the poitical party you think that the person would vote for in an election. Be sure to give specific reasons for this choice! Besides agreeing with what a political party stands for, what other factors might be involve in a person's voting decision?

Eric von Ronheim is a German who owns a textile factory. He is against the Treaty of Versailles, because he has to pay heavy taxes and he believes if the treaty didn't exist, Germany would be in a better state. Because people have to pay the taxes many people don't have money to buy products from his company. In addition he believes that the taxes won't go down even when the depression ends. Ronheim fears the comunnists, because he thinks capitalists like him won't be respected any more, and he thinks that Germany will become obedient to the Russians.

I think that Eric von Ronheim would vote for the Nazi Party. I think so because first of all, Ronheim does not like the Treaty of Versailles at all, and one of the points on the Nazi Party Program is abolition to the Treaty of Versailles. Another reason is that Ronheim is person who has to pay a lot of taxes, and he thinks that the taxes won't go down even after the depression because Germany would still have to pay the French. The Nazi Party had declared abolition against the treaty, and that would end Ronheim's problems wth taxes. On top of that, Hitler and the Nazi Party didn't like communists such as the Russians. The Nazi Party would seem appealing to Ronheim because he doesn't like the communists either. A factor that affects a person's voting decision is whether or not the party will take action on things that will benefit that person.
