    Default Thomas Sowell on the ability to convince parasites that they are victims & taxes

    Who is Mr Sowell calling parasites here????

    In politics, few talents are as richly rewarded as the ability to convince parasites that they are victims. Welfare states on both sides of the Atlantic have discovered that largesse to losers does not reduce their hostility to society, but only increases it. Far from producing gratitude, generosity is seen as an admission of guilt, and the reparations as inadequate compensations for injustices -- leading to worsening behavior by the recipients.

    Some people say that taxes are the price we pay for civilization. But the runaway taxes of our time are the price we pay for being gullible.

    THE HIGHEST TAX RATE FOR THE RICHEST COMPANIES THAT ACTUALLY PAY NOTHING!!!! What a fuckin idiot & a liar................FUCKIN PARASITE

    We judge ourselves by our ideals; others by their actions.
    Howard Zinn
