On Fairness

“I’m not in favour of fairness. I’m in favour of freedom. And freedom is not fairness. Fairness means that somebody has to decide what’s fair.” - Milton Freidman

When is the next Milton Friedman going to emerge? Some might say Sowell or Stossel-stache but they are good debaters, Milton was a master debater (ABSOLUTELY NO PUN INTENDED). We need a cross between the intellect of Thomas Sowell and the communication and debating skills of Dinesh D’souza. John Bolton is my favorite guy right now…he killed it on Maher. Even Maher was clearly afraid to get into it with him for fear of being made to look like the intellectual child he is.

Dan Mitchell from the from the Center for Freedom and Prosperity has an excellent post here regarding the whole "class warfare/ fairness" issue. My favorite part is his reference to a certain debate question from Charlie Gibson. Watch and you'll see:
