Quote DB :: Authors :: Thomas Sowell :: View Quote View Quote "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. Like the income tax, it may start off being applied only to the rich but it will inevitably reach us all." - Copy to Clipboard   --  Thomas Sowell Listed in: Government Add Quote To Your Quote List   Rating: 5  Rate Quote 8 votes submitted Your Name: Friend's Email: Sponsored Links Top 5 quotes from Thomas Sowell "There are no solutions...there are only trade-offs." "Much of the social history of the Western world over the past three decades has involved replacing what worked with what sounded good." "The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political left is that they do not work. Therefore we should not be surprised to find the left concentrated in institutions where ideas do not have to work in order to survive." "Those who are preoccupied with 'making a statement' usually don't have any statements worth making." "I have always been offended by the song that says, 'Everything is beautiful in its own way.' If everything is beautiful, then the word 'beautiful' has no meaning. If everything were purple, there would be no word 'purple' in the language because it would not distinguish one thing from another." Top 5 quotes from Government "When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right." "The best defense against usurpatory government is an assertive citizenry." "There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters." "Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government." "Little else is requisite to carry a state to the highest degree of opulence from the lowest barbarism but peace, easy taxes, and a tolerable administration of justice: all the rest being brought about by the natural course of things."
