“Dr. Sowell errs in thinking this is a zero sum game with a majority that will always simply vote for more goodies.”
He may be wrong. But it appears to me he is correct. For 75 years the country has become less free, with more people sucking off the government teat, fewer people paying the cost of government, coupled with mass immigration of people who, as Sowell points out, are attracted to “free” government services. It’s not a promising trajectory.
That misbegotten GOP-e tax system gave the politicians all the money they needed to take everything away from everybody.
It's time to rescind the 16th amendment.
