Dear Editor,

The upcoming presidential election likely will be decided based upon our view of the future of our economic system.

Socialism is an economic system of social organization by which the means of production and distribution are controlled, managed or owned by the government. If we believe that this is the correct course of action for our country, we should vote for President Obama.

Capitalism is an economic system based upon the ownership of land, factories and other means of production by private individuals who compete with one another, using the hired labor of other persons, to produce goods and services for a free market for whatever profit may be obtainable. IF we believe that this he correct course of action for our country, we should vote for Governor Romney.

James Duvall,

Worthington, Ohio
