I have learned from experience that using logic does not end any argument with a leftist. Their ability to deny reality at all costs is truly impressive.

[chrisbetts]

1: Compared to what.
2: At what cost.
3: What hard evidence do you have.

[brucet]

A good fourth question: If you think the government has a responsibility to provide you with "everything you need" - Who gets to decide "what you need"? The answer should send chills down even a lefty's spine.

[sanchezking]

These days there is also a fourth question:
"Who paid for that study/expert?"

"When once a Republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles; every other correction is either useless or a new evil." -- Thomas Jefferson

With the left, the price is always the same, your freedom.

[jimthompson]

I still say...Dr. Thomas Sowell is a true American Treasure!!!

[senseofmindshow]

"Whatever you do to deal with one of man's flaws, it creates another problem. But you try to get the best tradeoff you can get and that's the best you can hope for." Sowell is unique in his ability to describe complex ideas in a clear, eloquent, and interesting way. He's a national treasure.

[c.c.hiliner]

One of the greatest minds ever...and blacks ignore him...

[r.j.martin]

This man should be celebrated as one of the great minds of our lifetime.

[Rick_King]

I wish this man had run for president. He is brilliant.

[dave-hprf]

From Australia this wonderful man should have led the world, it would be a better place.

[Funknwanker]

They want to help the poor while they are poor and the other wants to help them to stop being poor.
This man has one of the most amazing abilities to put complex ideas into easily digestible terms.

[waldoparsnip]

In 1964, LBJ showed young black women it paid better to be married to the government instead of to a man .

[Whitpusmc]

This man would be so much better than the First black President we got….

1:13 "There are three questions that I think would destroy most of the arguments on the left. The first is, "compared to what?" The second is "at what cost?" The third is "what hard evidence do you have?" Now there are very few ideas on the left that can pass all three of those kinds of things." - Thomas Sowell

[Islamis-Stupid]

1. Compared to what?
2. At what cost?
3. What hard evidence do you have?

Must commit this to memory.

[anthonyclarke]

G.O.A.T.
I might not like everything I hear but he backs up everything he says and doesn't even flinch.
Thank you Thomas Sowell.

[ilyaklimov]

This man's wisdom and intelligence are inspiring and overwhelming!

[bobholly]

I have learned to ask these questions about ANY political policy, no matter which party proposes it.
