Dear Communist,

Capitalism is a two-way street. If (and it reains an if) State Farm exercised bad faith or poor judgment, they deserved to be exposed. Democratic capitalism offers an economic system based on competition, under the law, to channel self-interest into the service of others, and to promote human creativity as the key to ending poverty. It is a political system containing constitutional checks and balances to protect the rights of the individual and to avoid the abuse of power. Underlying both the economic and political structures of our society, illuminating and guiding them, are our moral and cultural traditions, our rich Western inheritance from Greece and Rome, from Judaism and Christianity, from the Renaissance and modern humanism. The traditions that we have inherited, open and tolerant, have helped to form the ethical code stabilising the whole civic structure of our democratic way of life.

Who threatens the US Constitution and civil liberties more, State Farm exceutives or a couple of ladies who may have exposed wrongs?
