Thanks for posting, jazusamo.
I am feeling pessimistic today. Sigh. Thirsty for any good news.
Reading Dr. Sowell’s works at the very least makes me feel less alone. I am not the only one who sees things this way...

Excellent article.
Individual aspiration and achievement are threats to the left, whose bible says: “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.”
I reject the idea that I owe anything to anyone because they don’t have what I have. I have had to work hard for what I have, and, by the grace of God, my efforts have been rewarded - not at the expense of anyone else, but by my own efforts and initiative.
When the 43% (who don’t pay taxes) stop aspiring to be one of the 57% and believe they are entitled to what the 57% has, we are in trouble. I can’t say that all of the 43% have an entitlement mentality, but a significant number of them do - we are in trouble.

Dr. Sowell laid out the mindset of the parasite political class so masterfully in his epic book
Vision of the Anointed.
It was his first book which I read that got me hooked on his genius.
