Peter’s E-mail to Professor Robert Reich

Re: Your ongoing attack on Capitalism

Dear Robert,

You must know that Rangoon was the jewel of Southeast Asia in 1954 and when I visited it in 1990 it was a sad city. You must know that Vietnam, led by now capitalist former Socialist North is far more desirable than North Korea still socialist as of course is South Korea. That Russia in 1910 had a dynamic growing economy that by 1960 had people waiting in line for shortages. I’m sure you know in Cuba that the educated young women are often prostitutes for want of jobs.

Why do you attack rich, powerful, denigrate them, want to make them want to hide or leave and stop starting businesses and hiring people.

I understand you have been on a college campus and probably created jobs with a salary, but never “risk” money. Why not visit businesses and see what businesses go through, interest running on loans, unions featherbedding, disinterested planning officials, regulation that is too often not sensible, then your wanting to tax more. Makes no sense. Why not look at workers spiking, bad back firefighters retiring at 38 and playing golf, government policies well intended that led to dishonest bankers loaning to unqualified using teaser rates.

Why not push people to be all they can be at creating businesses and workers.

No one owes us a thing. Our moral duty is to help poor help themselves. The best way this country can do it is to incentivize people to build and start businesses that will hire others. The President can be a pro businesses “ bully pulpit”. This one is not, at least as I see it.

Sincerely,
