I read your paper with dismay. ``The American Dream: Who killed it?'' (Sunday Business, Sept. 22) is a propaganda piece that should be reserved for the Commentary section, accompanied by an opposing capitalist viewpoint.
Masquerading editorials as front-page ``business news'' misinforms and misleads the unknowing. Why not offer a pro-capitalism point of view by someone like Milton Friedman? After all, capitalism, not totalitarianism, is what created prosperity in this country.
The people who killed the American Dream are the same type of people who wrote and published your ``business news'' article.
