Hilary Clinton said you know, it takes a village to raise a child and somebody said it takes a village idiot to believe that โฆ it is part of the whole thing of third parties wanting to make decisions for which they pay no price for when theyโre wrong.
Thomas SowellIf you are not prepared to use force to defend civilization, then be prepared to accept barbarism.
Thomas SowellFor society as a whole, nothing comes as a "right" to which we are "entitled." Even bare subsistence has to be produced-and produced at a cost of heavy toil for much of human history. The only way anyone can have a right to something that has to be produced is to force someone else to produce it for him. The more things are provided as rights, the less the recipients have to work and the more others have to carry their load.
Thomas SowellThe assumption that spending more of the taxpayer's money will make things better has survived all kinds of evidence that it has made things worse. The black family- which survived slavery, discrimination, poverty, wars and depressions- began to come apart as the federal government moved in with its well-financed programs to โhelp.โ
