Thank you for finding this.

Not much to disagree with (actually, none for me), and I wish that this could have been a full page ad in the NYT, prior to the 2012 election.

While, according to snopes.com, Mr. Crowley did not pen this letter, he only forwarded it and consequently was given credit for it, he however DID write a letter to the former employees of his NOW defunct business. You can read his actual letter here, and it's not much different than the original in condemnation of government over-involvement in too many areas. http://www.snopes.com/politics/info/crow...

Actually, it doesn't matter if it was never written to a certain group of employees...it was written by someone, and makes a good point, and makes it well.

It is fiction...just like Atlas Shrugged.

And effective...just like AS.

Lame
