Seriousness, Republican Style
Shorter Thomas Sowell: Why is no one taking this fire seriously? Stop jabbering and posturing and throw some gasoline on it already!
I also liked the part where he explains that raising taxes on the rich is both a socialist takeover and an ineffective empty gesture. And where he explains that voting should be a privilege for the educated overclass rather than a right extended to just any peon.
Somehow, I don’t think restricting the electorate to only well-informed people would work out quite the way Sowell pictures. On the other hand, quizzing voters would be so unwieldy and contentious, so maybe we should use income or net worth as a proxy for knowledge and intelligence, since after all only the smartest and best-educated people get rich, right?
