Walter Williams is a precious asset to collective knowledge of this country. I'm currently reading Sowell's "Economics" for the economicaly impaired. Though he wrote it in plain english, without charts and graphs, it still takin' me awhile.

Anyone with even a grain of knowledge about capitalism, versus the alternatives could never, ever vote for a democrat.

ping.

While I am a big fan of Walter Williams, I think his use of professional athletes as an example of beneficiaries of a free market is off the mark. Tax payers subsidize most of the major league sports franchises. We do it by building their arenas and sports facilities. If the owners of baseball , basketball and football teams had to pay for their own venues their "employees" incomes could suffer.
I'm not aware of any fast food franchises who's facilities are subsides by US dollars. But, in this day and age, I could be wrong . . .

bump for Walter.

He is one of my favorites (Krauthammer, Sowell, Coulter and Horowitz would fill my top 5.)

I hope Rush will have Mr. Williams guest host sometime soon......he is my favorite.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

The bottom line explanation of Michael Jordan's income relative to mine lies in his capacity to please his fellow man...dealers and hookers do the same but they get arrested. Pleasing fellow man is no justification for anything, the senate pleased clinton.

I can play basketball, but my problem is with my fellow man, who'd plunk down $200 to see Jordan play and wouldn't pay a dollar to see me play. I'm also willing to sell my name as endorsements for sneakers and sport clothing, but no one has approached me.

Walter, God bless you; I'll gladly pay $10 for a best of 3 one-on-one with you! Now, I am a little younger, not 60 yet; and I did quit the smokes years ago.

I think maybe we could get folks to buy tix to watch us geezers sweat and pant if we can I.D. a good cause to support. Open to suggestions!

It's rather obvious the letter writer in Dr. Williams' column is a graduate of the Democrat Socialist School Of Redistribution Of Wealth, having earned his Ph.D. in Classical Whining.
