Random Thought From Thomas Sowell

April 14, 2012 – A random thought, from Thomas Sowell.

In politics, few talents are as richly rewarded as the ability to convince parasites that they are victims. Welfare states on both sides of the Atlantic have discovered that largesse to losers does not reduce their hostility to society, but only increases it. Far from producing gratitude, generosity is seen as an admission of guilt, and the reparations as inadequate compensation for injustices – leading to worsening behavior by the recipients.

If only someone could develop a means by which those parasites could be made useful and productive members of society. -JRoycroft
