Here’s an odd paradox for you: Conservatives are always accused of racism, yet I don’t know a conservative that would not work their butt off and then vote for a Republican presidential ticket of Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams. I love those two guys. Thomas Sowell just wrote a two part article called, A Cynical [...]
Browsing Posts in Thomas Sowell
This morning I heard part of the President’s Saturday Radio Address. Once again I heard him say (just prior to turning off my radio in frustration) that part of the solution to the debt problem is “eliminating spending in the tax code.” There IS NO SPENDING in the tax code. Government does NOT own all [...]
If you’re a fan of Thomas Sowell like I am, you’ve no doubt read his debunking of the “class” model expressed in quintiles of earners. What Dr. Sowell exposed is that Democrats speak of the various classes (poor, middle, and rich) as though they are fixed, containing the same people year in and year out, [...]
Must read Thomas Sowell at Human Events: Slaves to Words. Mr. Sowell is making a distinction between the words “tax the rich” and the REALITY of what happens when tax rates are increased. Reality… an interesting concept. In his column Sowell gives many examples of the actual result of raised taxes, and the actual result [...]
Reliance on government to fix the economy is like grabbing some guy off of the street and putting him at the controls of a complex machine that has gone haywire. He can push all the buttons and pull the levers but he has no idea what effect any of it is having, or how pushing [...]
I was re-reading Thomas Sowell’s Intellectuals and Society over the weekend and he made a brilliant point that I want to highlight (to the degree I can do Thomas Sowell justice). It’s a very simple thing he said, really, but it is completely missed by most people when discussing economics. Mr. Sowell’s point was that [...]
Thomas Sowell once again nails it: New Heroes VS Old Also, The Artist Formerly Known as Doctor Zero, John Hayward, has a good article at Human Events: “State of the Debt Ceiling“
I once said that my dream presidential ticket would be John Hayward (Doctor Zero) and Thomas Sowell. I didn’t care which brilliant man was at the top of the ticket. John Hayward wrote to me and said that it would have to be Thomas Sowell at the top of the ticket, “because, let’s be honest, [...]
Once more Pres. O-blame-a (blaming Bush and the Republicans yet again) is lamenting the dire plight of the Middle Class and implying that he and the Progressives in Congress are the Middle Class’ only hope. I’m sure what he’s doing is hoping to appeal to a wide swath of voters, since I’m guessing the vast [...]

From Dan Mitchell’s International Liberty blog: From John Hayward at Human Events: Sebelius and the death spiral From Thomas Sowell at Town Hall: “Super Tuesday” Also: My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Andrew Breitbart. His voice and passion will be missed terribly. I’m greatly saddened at the loss of this man who [...]
