Boot’s observations on unrest in France
The fires in France may illuminate Europe’s problems, but Max Boot’s column (Opinion, Nov. 9) sheds no light, with its usual bromides about the virtues of the free market and the need “to face down such powerful entrenched interests as labor unions, farmers and pensioners” in Europe and, by implication, here in the U.S.
In other words, we need to make life for the majority less secure so that big corporations can continue to enjoy big profits and the top 1% can look forward to even bigger tax cuts. Wall Street may be doing better, but the middle class in the U.S. continues to lose ground.
