If you want to see the poor remain poor, generation after generation, just keep the standards low in their schools and make excuses for their academic shortcomings and personal misbehavior. But please don't congratulate yourself on your compassion.
A reader has suggested that elections be held on April 16th—the day after we pay our income taxes. That is one of the few things that might discourage politicians from being big spenders.
I am so old that I can remember a Democrat, at his inauguration as president, say of our enemies: “We dare not tempt them with weakness.”
Chief Justice John Marshall said it all in one sentence: "The power to tax is the power to destroy."
One of the key assumptions of the left is that statistical disparities are suspicious, if not sinister, especially if these are differences in income and wealth. But if people differ radically in performance, why is it surprising that they also differ radically in the rewards…
It is not merely that Johnny can’t read, or even that Johnny can’t think. Johnny doesn’t know what thinking is, because thinking is so often confused with feeling in many public schools.
Freedom means nothing if it does not mean the freedom to do what other people don't like. Everyone was free to be a Communist under the Stalin dictatorship, and everyone is free to be a Muslim in Saudi Arabia. Yet whole generations are coming out of our colleges where only those…
We are living in an era when sanity is controversial and insanity is just another viewpoint—and degeneracy only another lifestyle.
Nothing has been more common in history than for victims to become oppressors when they gain power.
Criminals understand that they are at war with society. But many of those whose jobs it is to protect society do not want to treat criminals like mortal enemies. Too many judges and members of parole boards devote their authority to massaging their own egos instead of protecting…
The great ideological divide is between those who believe that theories should be adjusted to reality and those who believe that reality must be adjusted to fit their theories. Many of the horrors of the 20th century were created by the latter.
If people in the media cannot decide whether they are in the business of reporting news or manufacturing propaganda, it is all the more important that the public understand that difference, and choose their news sources accordingly.
Liberals take positions that make them look good and feel good — and show very little interest in the actual consequences for others, even when liberal policies are leaving havoc in their wake.
Equality of rights does not mean equality of results. I can have all the equal treatment in the world on a golf course and I will not finish within shouting distance of Tiger Woods.
To say that women are paid 60 percent of what men receive for doing the same work is to say that employers can afford to pay two male workers more than they pay three female workers—the women producing 50 percent more output—and still survive economically in a system so…
As a rule of thumb, Congressional legislation that is bipartisan is usually twice as bad as legislation that is partisan.
Slavery was an ugly, dirty business but people of virtually every race, color, and creed engaged in it on every inhabited continent. And the people they enslaved were also of virtually every race, color, and creed.
The history of the 20th century is full of examples of countries that set out to redistribute wealth and ended up redistributing poverty.
Only in Congress do people adjust to economic adversity and growing deficits by spending more money.
If crime is a product of poverty and discrimination as they say endlessly, why was there so much less of it when poverty and discrimination were much worse than today? If massive programs are the only hope to reduce violence in the ghetto, why was there so much less violence long…

“The first lesson of economics is scarcity: There is never enough of anything to satisfy all those who want it. The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics.” —@ThomasSowell
One of the great untold stories of the 20th century political left is how they lost the debate on economic issues *within* the economics profession. So they moved over into the English department (and other humanities) instead, and resumed teaching discredited economics there.

My interview with Thomas Sowell will drop on Sunday , the publication date of his new book, "Social Justice Fallacies." (Correct. At 93, Tom has written a new book.) A glimpse:
Earlier today, my first conversation with Thomas Sowell since before Covid. We'll get this episode of Uncommon Knowledge edited and up as fast as ever we can. In the meantime? Let me put it this way: At 93, Tom Sowell remains brilliant, funny, and fierce.
Part 1 “Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it.” —@ThomasSowell #Socialism
From Thomas Sowell’s memoir. More evidence that standardized tests should be free and compulsory to identify gifted youngsters from poor and marginalized backgrounds. And that relying on the subjective opinions of teachers is a major blunder.
“Facts.” Happy 93rd birthday to the legendary @ThomasSowell. The Supreme Court reversal of Affirmative Action was your gift!
Happy 93rd Birthday to the great @ThomasSowell. Through the free @WoodsonCenter curriculum, discover the incredible life of one of America’s greatest thinkers, and be inspired by his courage and insistence to tell unpopular truths. woodsoncenter.org/how-we-help/cu…
"Progressives insist that there is a direct link between the past mistreatment of blacks and black outcomes today, but that claim is undermined by the experience of other groups. Chinese- and Japanese-Americans were also mistreated in the U.S. ... 🧵
Part 4 “Racism is not dead, but it is on life support — kept alive by politicians, race hustlers and people who get a sense of superiority by denouncing others as ‘racists.’” —@ThomasSowell #NAACP #Florida

“There is no greater indictment of judges than the fact that honest people are afraid to go into court, while criminals swagger out its revolving doors.” —@ThomasSowell
“One of the mysteries of the ages is why the political left has, for centuries, lavished so much attention on the well-being of criminals and paid so little attention to their victims.” —@ThomasSowell
