Almost more interesting than Icahn's common sense article are the many talkback comments from the New York Times readership, most of whom appear to be bitterly opposed to corporate activity which maximizes profits. Has the NYT become a haven for left wing advocacy, Icahn's capitalistic perspective notwithstanding, whose primary readership are socialists? How much of the country do they represent? I worry about our economic prospects when a significant chunk of the intelligentsia no longer believe in free market economics.
