Many Americans were not only saddened but angry that Iran publicized photographs of captured American sailors weeping. But do you think that Reverend Jeremiah Wright was saddened and angry? What about his 20-year disciple in the White House? Let us not forget that President Obama voluntarily humbled himself — and America — by bowing to foreign leaders.

Can anybody ever imagine Donald Trump bowing to anybody?

What percentage of American households have incomes in the top 10 percent? Answer: 51 percent of American households are in the top 10 percent in income at some point in the course of a lifetime — usually in their older years. Those who want us to envy and resent the top 10 percent are urging half of us to envy and resent ourselves.

Well well well. I have always admired Sowell. But, he is all in for the elites. The argument is not the top 10% or the top 5% or the top 2%. Probably not even the top 1%. The real issue is that most of the economic growth in the US over the past decade and a half has gone to the handful of elites at the very top.

It's everyone who earns a living versus everyone else - top and bottom.
