Lots of people are flunking that test big time  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Policies are judged by their consequences but crusades are judged by how good they make the crusaders feel  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) The minimum wage law very cleverly is misnamed. The real minimum wage is zero. That is what many inexperienced and low skilled people receive as a result of legislation that makes it illegal to pay them what they are currently worth to an employer  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Few of the great tragedies of history were created by the village idiot, and many by the village genius  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) The economic disasters of socialism and communism come from assuming a blanket superiority of those who want to run a whole economy  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) What makes it possible for politicians to do so many things that are economically counterproductive is that neither the public nor the media know enough of the basics to understand what’s wrong with what they’re saying  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) People have a vested interest in promoting one set of polices rather than finding out what the truth is  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) If you don’t control the borders, it doesn’t matter what immigration laws you have  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) The big problem in the long process of dumbing down the schools is that you can reach a point of no return. How are parents who never received a decent education themselves to recognize that their children are not getting a decent education?  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Liberals are very broadminded: they are always willing to give careful consideration to both sides of the same side  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) If you don’t believe in the innate unreasonableness of human beings, just try raising children  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Some of the people on death row today might not be there if the courts had not been so lenient on them when they were first offenders  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Actually lowering the cost of insurance would be accomplished by such things as making it harder for lawyers to win frivolous lawsuits against insurance companies  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Both free speech rights and property rights belong legally to individuals, but their real function is social, to benefit vast numbers of people who do not themselves exercise these rights  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Capitalism knows only one color: that color is green; all else is necessarily subservient to it, hence, race, gender and ethnicity cannot be considered within it  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Each new generation born is in effect an invasion of civilization by little barbarians, who must be civilized before it is too late  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Facts do not speak for themselves. They speak for or against competing theories. Facts divorced from theories or visions are mere isolated curiosities  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) If the battle for civilization comes down to the wimps versus the barbarians, the barbarians are going to win  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Liberals seem to assume that, if you don’t believe in their particular political solutions, then you don’t really care about the people that they claim to want to help  (Thomas Sowell Quotes) Like a baseball game, wars are not over till they are over. Wars don’t run on a clock like football. No previous generation was so hopelessly unrealistic that this had to be explained to them  (Thomas Sowell Quotes)
