Re: The Mythology of Thomas Sowell
They actively voice everyday on social media about how they want slaves.
Unlimited comments like" whos gonna pick the watermelons now" "who is gonna do your landscaping". They actively tell these blacks and mexicans, "these are the only jobs you are smart enough to do".
Its disgusting

Is he considering the melodrama of insisting we’re a Christian nation? That this myth must be promoted in schools?
Various government safety net programs have literally and sometimes dramatically lowered the poverty rate.
In general, on a world wide basis, the country’s with the highest standards of living and economic stability have the strongest government social programs.
Go ahead and list where Sowell’s economic vision has done the same. Lowered poverty rates on a large scale, reduced the wealth gap, created stability. Are there as many examples as there are on the left?

Thomas Sowell
His statement could be changed to "The trump regime is not really about the welfare of MAQA yahoos. It is about the egos and pocketbooks of the elites" and be just as correct.

Disagree. The entire name “welfare state” is a dog whistle to the bootstraps crowd. And Sowell’s economic philosophy serves the elites.

D’Souza? Jindal? Man are you reaching for insults. Jindal was barely relevant for a moment. Otherwise…he’s just a doctrinaire conk.

A literal boot strap philosophy is healthy. I’m talking about the myth of objectivism that breeds a lack of empathy and gratitude. Those who judge a social safety net while failing to recognize their own role as takers.Caribbean Hen wrote: ↑Mon Jun 02, 2025 5:36 amWhy would you criticize the “boot strap” crowd?

Person? I stated it’s a philosophy. Do you really need specific examples of people who subscribe to it?
