Was Walter Williams right about social justice?

Giving politicians more money and power at the expense of citizens seldom creates greater justice.

I miss Walter Williams. A brilliant man. I sent him an email once thanking him for his essays and other work, never expecting a reply because he was a well known and busy man. But he took the time to send me a gracious reply! I still have it to this day.

Walter Williams was a great mind, and a good man. RIP, Mr. Williams.

If I give away my money, talent and time that's charity.

When you take it that's theft.

200 years ago this was debated in Congress.
Don't hear much like this anymore.

I really miss Dr. Williams, too. He was not only brilliant, he had a gift for explaining complex ideas so that even I could understand.

Thank you, sir, Mr. Freitas, for remembering a fine man.

Worst part is that most of the money disappears. They don't help others, but only hold it over them.

I like the way Mr Frietas thinks and expresss himself!!!! Need him in the higher offices running this country.

Walter Williams was my absolute favorite. If I hadn't listened to Walter I never would have gotten to know Thomas Sowell.

Mr Williams sounds like a really smart man. I completely agree with him.

AMEN!!!! "We the People", is now lost in thought and deed. But one day, they will answer for themselves to a MUCH higher power.

I miss Dr. Williams so much I could just cry. He was an absolutely sterling individual who really loved teaching. I "met" him on the Rush Limbaugh show and Dr. Williams was so interesting I kept listening, even when he wasn't on! If he was revered by Limbaugh maybe Limbaugh wasn't as BAD as I had heard. I miss Mr. Limbaugh too. Those 2 men turned my life around in more than just the political sense. And I can cry because I'm an old girl, not a virile manly man. Thanks for the reminder that good men leave long lasing impressions that help other people try to be good too.

Walter Williams was an icon of common sense. Brilliant essays.

I work because I need the money, not because you need my money.

Honestly I haven’t found any other person that shares their knowledge the way Freitas does. To the point and it makes sense. Thank you Mr. Freitas.
