One of the greatest books I ever read was Thomas Sowell’s Vision of the Anointed, no small influence in shifting my ideology from Kool-Aid swilling lefty to solid conservative.

Sowell points out the fact that earnings quintiles are quite fluid, and that the junior level kid just out of school, without 2 nickels to rub together, is tomorrow's corporate executive or neurosurgeon. We're the most upwardly mobile society on the planet.

These nanny state, zero sum demagogues want to turn us into Norway. We need to resist at every turn.

Thanks for the props.
