Idan Solon’s Tuesday letter to the editor in which he attempts to chastise a capitalist system through actions by the U.S. government misses the mark.
In fact, it only further proves the point William Tew was trying to make in his Monday letter about the benefits of capitalism.
While Solon goes on to list many foreign interventions of our government, he then wraps those actions up as a by-product of our “capitalist-spawned U.S. corporations.”
Instead, one might view these actions as the by-product of an increasingly out of control federal government that only hampers the free market system.
The actions of the U.S. government in foreign nations have been embarrassing at best — however, that’s not a fault of a capitalist society.
Solon is right when he says a free market provides fruitful results, but it is unfortunate that those are continually hampered by an inefficient and largely corrupt federal bureaucracy.
