If only Thomas Sowell could have been our first black President . . . .
He also has lived the historic African-American experience in the US, which BHO never experienced. BHO has lived the affirmative action experience. So sick.
I don't think we need him as president and I think he would agree. His talents are academic, not executive. We need him as the economic advisor to a libertarian or Conservative freemarket oriented president. We need for Mr Sowell to totally staff all the economics positions throughout the government.
30 years ago or so Pinochet in Peru hired some U of Chicago economists to come down to Peru and redesign, among other things, the Peruvian Social Security system. It is now pretty much the system described by Thomas Sowell and it pays out much better retirements than American SS ever has and the recipient, owning his stake, has something to leave to his heirs. I believe the heirs can then incorporate it into their own SS plans and enhance them thereby. The freemarket changes in Peru were so effective that subsequent socialist governments that have come and gone and come again are loath to change them knowing that they will incur the instant enmity of the population as well as kill the goose that lays those auric ova.
