The Daily Citizen, Dalton, GA Letters to the Editor

Letter: Educate yourself about the country’s history

2012-05-27T04:12:51-04:00

There are many things in American history that do not come to mind when we look at some of Americas most “patriotic” landmarks. The landmark I am referring to is Mount Rushmore. When most Americans view Mount Rushmore the view it as a majestic symble of American prosperity, they do this because they do not know the whole truth about this landmark.

2012-05-17T05:27:22-04:00

Letter: Does Schlechty Center produce positive results for students?

2012-05-17T04:28:18-04:00

Letter: Several reasons to vote against Obama

Letter: Economic systems and terrorism

2012-05-11T04:41:21-04:00

Democratic capitalism and socialism seem to be the only economic systems that can survive in the foreseeable future. Neither of these are exclusive. Pure capitalism cannot survive without a strong and flexible social net for the needy of society. Pure socialism cannot survive without the freedoms of democracy. It is not an either/or option but a mixture of both.

Letter: Williams column misleading

2012-05-10T04:35:38-04:00

On April 27, Walter Williams wrote a column titled “More devious taxation.” I do not think Mr. Williams is being completely truthful.
