In the media yes, it’s very popular.
What exactly is your ‘fair share’ of what ‘someone else’ has worked for?
- Thomas Sowell
“Nothing is easier, or more
emotionally satisfying, than
blaming high prices on those who
charge them, rather than on
those who cause them.”
—Thomas Sowell
“One of the sad signs of our times is that
we have demonized those who produce,
subsidized those who refuse to produce,
and canonized those who complain. “
Thomas Sowell
“It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.”
Thomas Sowell
It’s easy being a communist in a free country.
Try being free in a communist country.
Thomas Sowell
It was Thomas Edison who brought us electricity, not the Sierra Club. It was the Wright brothers who got us off the ground, not the Federal Aviation Administration. It was Henry Ford who ended the isolation of millions of Americans by making the automobile affordable, not Ralph Nader.
Those who have helped the poor the most have not been those who have gone around loudly expressing “compassion” for the poor, but those who found ways to make industry more productive and distribution more efficient, so that the poor of today can afford things that the affluent of yesterday could only dream about.
Thomas Sowell
“When I was growing up. We were taught the stories of people whose inventions and scientific discoveries had expanded the lives of millions of other people.
Today, students are being taught to admire those who complain, denounce and demand.”
Thomas Sowell
