Wow. That is an outstanding quote by Thomas Sowell.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

HOw does that guy playing on a game showw "true greed?"

That isn't true greed. Bernie Maddoff, Kenneth Lay, Arthur Anderson, Charles Ponzi, Al Parrish, Charles Keating (S&L), Bernard Ebbers (WorldCom), Dennis Kozlowski and Martha Stewart are the faces of TRUE Greed, not some lawyer on a game show.

No, like most of Sowell's work it's a gross oversimplification and stupid. But I'm sure it's red meat for "free market" utopians. :lol:

Not sure how you oversimplify a general statement, but Sowell's premise is extremely accurate and spot on. :nod:

Here is a quick and basic breakdown of greed and the free market system.

Everyone is greedy from time to time. But there's no need to glorify it. Sowell is afraid to own his philosophy. That's all.

Tell me what you think is wrong with it. Why is there no greed in wanting to take what others have in order to get what you need?

There's our problem in a nutshell. kalm tries to discuss the liberal position in a collegial manner, JSO tries to engage him, but before kalm has a chance to respond, the troll brother goes straight for the vulgarity. That's NOT what this forum should be about.

Sometimes, what is "simplistic" is correct.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

Being wrong about a topic is called post partisanism - kalm

It will probably be difficult for MAQA yahoos to overcome the Qult programming but they should give being rational & reasonable a try.
