@@alluringbliss4165 Allowing the Trump tax cuts to expires will mean higher taxes on working families and businesses, including… A family of four earning $75,000 will owe an additional $1,500 in taxes. A family of five with two earners making around $100,000 will owe an additional nearly $7,500 in taxes. The Child Tax Credit will be slashed in half from $2,000 down to $1,000. The guaranteed deduction that 90 percent of taxpayers use to simplify their tax filing will be slashed in half. The 20 percent deduction that helps small businesses compete with larger corporations goes away leaving small businesses facing a 43.4 percent tax rate. There have been no changes to CBO’s methodology to address other miscalculations… For fiscal year 2023, CBO under projected the budget deficit by $1 trillion. The green tax provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) were originally estimated to cost $400 billion through FY 2031. This has since been revised up by two-thirds, to about $660 billion through FY 2031 or $790 billion through FY 2033.

There has been no Asian president. There has been no Native American president, there has been no Hispanic president. Explain to me why that is.

Lots of broken families, flawed sub-culture, and generational trauma of hopelessness leads to Indigenous Canadians having higher poverty rates, higher incarceration rates, higher drug use rates, higher overdose rates, higher domestic violence rates, higher homeless rates, and lowest education rates compared to all other Canadians who descended from old world immigrants/settlers.

I was born during apartheid in South Africa, grew up in it, worked in it, got free from it. Because of the time I grew up in, I never got education, I've been unfortunately poor in my life. I got my freedom 30 ago, these 30 were enough time to turn my life around if I was mean to be something in life, but I couldn't. To comfort my setbacks, I would conveniently blame apartheid for how my life is right now, but I know that would be the worst mistake of my life, because when you die blaming, when you die with excuses, your children inherit those excuses and it become hereditary in your family to blame something if they can't fix their lives. I don't talk bad about white people, I never use apartheid as an excuse, so my child knows that I have nothing because life was not kind to me. When I narrate apartheid stories to my child, I narrate so my child can learn where we've come, but I make sure that's not an excuse to justify my none achievement status. So that's no hate in this house, we face each day with its own challenges as it come.

I'm an 80 year old white woman and I find Thomas Sowell such a breath of fresh air to replace Rev. Jesse Jackson or Barack Obama. I have been saying that it is not the color of the skin, but the culture. I saw a video where multiple young black women were asked if t they'd prefer a hard-working, honest black man or a rich drug dealer. Every one chose a drug dealer! I was shocked. My limited experience has been--- loud hip-hop music while driving, allowing their children to run & play tag in the grocery stores, talking & laughing very loud while walking, expensive braided, colorful hair on women, flashy, gold jewelry, poor care of their homes & yards, name calling of other blacks that desire education or are conservative as Uncle Tom's. All blacks know JayZ, but how many have heard of Thomas Sowell? I haven't met Thomas Sowell or Ben Carson but I know who they are and listen to them.

Sowell is great. But I think he needs to clarify that "hillbilly" Appalachians were NEVER slave owners. They were ABOLITIONISTS, and in fact, West Virginia split from Confederate Virginia in the civil war over slavery. Many east Tennessee and east Kentucky regiments fought FOR THE NORTH. Appalachians, despite being very poor, have a much lower crime rate than black communities. I actually resent the term "hillbilly." Just say Appalachian and Ozarks.

Something that Sowell doesn't mention is that, before the 1970s, American industry needed black workers. And, because of strong unions, black workers earned enough to live with dignity. Also, the blacks who moved to the cities often had strong Christian roots that gave them a clear moral code and sense of purpose. All that fell apart in the 1970s, and black culture fell apart with it.

Great interview with a great man again! The source of fatherless homes is the direct result of the Great Society! The social services to families is dependent on no man in the household. That was written into the law. I first encountered this while a nursing student in 1965. A family who just needed some help was refused by the social worker because the father was in the house. This is still in effect - 3 years ago my niece (white) in Springfield OR with 2 kids broke up with the father of her children. The state social worker arranged housing for her and set he up for a CNA course. She would have been independent. When the father of the children was seen in the home, all services were terminated. She is now destituted except for family charity. The law and the Great Society claimed another family, and left the children fatherless. Dr. Sowell is so right. The liberals have destroyed poor families - white and black!

@randypaul1170 8 күн бұрын

You’re partially correct with the welfare system. I believe a lot of black people got suckered into that, which helped destroy the family. One mistake I believe that some black people have made was believing everything the white supremacist tells them. As a black person, you have to question everything because the white supremacist are good at deceiving people.

@paulb9156 5 күн бұрын

He’s saying the evidence shows that before 1960 Black poverty and unemployment was decreasing. After affirmative action in the 1960s it reversed. This implies that government involvement though their programs hindered Black progress instead of helping. I would argue this also happened to other minorities including the indigenous people. Children and adults who are given handouts and special treatment never learn how to survive on their own. The failed government programs continue to be a drain on the country. I’m not saying programs wouldn’t help, but the programs need to change. Get people back to honest work through training and education. Not handouts and free passes.

I grew up in a pre-dominantly white country. Race was never cited as a factor for poverty or success. The consensus was that success depended on your family wealth (a leg-up) and education - trade or academia, it didn't matter. There were neighbourhoods with abjectly poor people, they were so obviously poor because they were unskilled (day laborers or unskilled factory workers). It was recognized that schools _and homes_ would need to emphasize education to "uplift" them. There was no talk of systemic failings.

The problem in Appalachians is no jobs and too much disability. The people with ambition leave. Before the growth of the welfare, outmigration from Appalachia to Cincinnati, Dayton, Toledo and Detroit sucked those willing to work out of the Area. The other avenue was joining the Military, one that my Father used to escape Appalachia. Too many of these counties have no resources or population base enough to draw industry and are some are the poorest in the Country. Eleven Counties in Eastern Kentucky are in the Fifty lowest median family incomes in the Nation. The only real solution would be to pay people to move.

I agree that single parenthood in the Black community is a problem. Although I was raised by a single mother she had extremely strong values, which she passed down to me. Work hard, excel in all you do, be honest and treat people as you wish to be treated. Have integrity etc. It is a fact that most young criminals are from single parent households but some are from households where there are no morals I am afraid. I know that my views will not be popular but it is the truth. Others do come from moral households but are affected by outside influences such as music, social media. Also the government has taken away the ability for parents to discipline your their child with children being able to call the police on their parents and social services removing them when you are attempting to instill values.
