SR Letter: Clark’s Hagadone Attack Ignorant

re: Doug Clark's Jan. 20 column: "Ain't got no helipad? Sing the blues" (includes link to MP3 parody "The Duane B. Hagadone Blues.")

Doug Clark's whiny assault on Duane Hagadone reveals his ignorance of private property rights ("Ain't got no helipad? Sing the blues," Jan. 20). Doug thumbs his nose at Duane with his silly blues song, which makes me wonder what he really knows about business. Doug, do you realize how many taxes, jobs and economic benefits wealthy business owners provide Americans? Did you ever once equate wealth with hard work? Did you once consider yourself lucky to have a job at a Hagadone newspaper? How many jobs have you created lately?
