Thomas Sowell quotes about
effort president littles
Nobody would put as little thought and effort into buying an automobile as they put into deciding who to elect as President of the United States.
greed want use
It is amazing how many of the intelligentsia call it "greed" to want to keep what you have earned, but not greed to want to take away what somebody else has earned, and let politicians use it to buy votes.
income may rich
Egalitarians create the most dangerous inequality of all - inequality of power. Allowing politicians to determine what all other human beings will be allowed to earn is one of the most reckless gambles imaginable. Like the income tax, it may start off being applied only to the rich but it will inevitably reach us all.
party mean government
'Fair' is one of the most dangerous concepts in politics. Since no two people are likely to agree on what is 'fair,' this means that there must be some third party with power - the government - to impose its will. The road to despotism is paved with 'fairness'.
faces conservative liberalism
Liberalism is totalitarianism with a human face.
party thinking should
Think about it: What the busybodies are saying is that third parties like themselves -- who are paying nothing to anybody -- should be determining how much somebody else should be paying those who work for them.
caring political vision
One of the most pervasive political visions of our time is the vision of liberals as compassionate and conservatives as less caring.
