The Glade 4.0 :: View topic - Any Thomas Sowell fans here?

Good, good.

Unfortunately, while I agree with him on what he wrote, I believe that we have exactly the kind of government we deserve in place, now. There are too few people standing up and declaring, "This far will you go, and no further." Apathy and complacency in too large a percentage of the population have gotten us to this point, and it's going to be very hard to reverse course. I'm not sure that it even can be done. There are too many people watching "American Idol" and "NCIS".

Just my 2 cents worth.

Yeah he's good. I credit him for a lot of my basic insights to economics, not that he came up with them necessarily, I just became aware of some of the principles in his books. He did an especially good job of describing how much of what we call "the poor" in the United States is very fluid, comprised of young people just starting out in the market, on through the prime earning years and then to partial retirement and full retirement. I guess I'm getting off topic now. I heard him on the radio earlier talking about this new book.
