[Commentary - Sowell Economics @sowelleconomics]

The people who built the welfare state still congratulate themselves to this day.

Thomas Sowell points out the obvious problem: they never seriously weighed the collateral damage. The “help” came with costs that were ignored because the architects preferred the feeling of virtue over the results.

Walter Williams drives the point home with the simplest rule in economics: if you tax something you get less of it; if you subsidize something you get more of it. For decades, the system has subsidized the very behaviors that destroy families, work habits, and self-reliance.

The result is not mysterious. You get more of what you pay for. @FreeToChooseNet

@GunnelsWarren Raise #wages and create #unemployment amongst the youth and least skilled workers? Why is #Gov. meddling in private sector wage contracts? Why not ask - how can the #labor market promote higher wages?

Answer: #training #education #taxation and NOT via a higher #minimumwage #US🇺🇸

@JamesOKeefeIII @Twitter @jack: "Our role is to protect the integrity of that conversation...."

Really? Or is #Twitter is trying to pre-empt #regulation whilst endorsing #censorship and political bias. Shame on you! @TwitterSupport @TwitterIR

[Thomas Sowell Quotes @ThomasSowell]

For too many people, especially in the media, what is right and wrong, true or false, depends on who it helps or hurts politically. Too many media people who are supposed to be reporters act as if they are combatants in political wars.

@SenSanders @debmackenzie1 What a silly comparison! Should you not ask, why wages are low and how the Silicon valley elite are accumulating wealth so rapidly? Thank you. #BigTech #monopolies #minimumwage #politics #US

[Thomas Sowell Quotes @ThomasSowell]

The political left's attempts to silence ideas they cannot, or will not, debate are a confession of intellectual bankruptcy.

[Ben & Candy Carson @RealBenCarson]

Silencing a significant number of voters and erasing history is no way to unite us; it only further divides. Big tech & social media platforms want to act like media orgs but don’t want to be held accountable with the rest of media. Speech should be free whether you agree or not.

[Thomas Sowell Quotes @ThomasSowell]

Some Americans will never appreciate America, until after they have helped destroy it, and have then begun to suffer the consequences.

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

Knowledge isn't free. You have to pay attention. 🧠

[Fight for the Future @fightfortheftr]

Conservative, liberal, whatever. It's time for the tyranny of big social media companies to end. They are a massive monopoly, in violation of US law, and we need to break them up to allow real competition on the internet. #BreakUpBigTech

[Thomas Sowell Quotes @ThomasSowell]

Egalitarians create the most dangerous inequality of all — inequality of power. Allowing politicians to determine what all other human beings will be allowed to earn is one of the most reckless gambles imaginable.

[Thomas Sowell Quotes @ThomasSowell]

How long do politicians have to keep on promising heaven and delivering hell before people catch on, and stop getting swept away by rhetoric?

[fouad @fouadbey]

@wallyadeyemo An easy policy choice is to abandon the proposed #minimumwage increase. Promote a better labor market via #education, #training #taxation but not state interference (in private contracts). @TheDemocrats
