Why Can’t These Officious Scoundrels Simply Leave Us Alone?

Here’s a letter to the Washington Post:

Editor:

George Will’s criticism of Sen. Josh Hawley’s (R-MO’s) scheme for using tariffs and other industrial-policy weapons allegedly to protect American males’ manliness is appropriate (“Progressives have a Republican soulmate in the Senate. His name is Josh Hawley. [2]” November 20th). Real men neither turn for protection to big brother, nor compel others to cooperate by summoning big brother to act as bully.

Sincerely,
Donald J. Boudreaux
