Thomas Sowell Is Supposed to Be an Economist, Right?

[TheDefiantOne]

Since I never SAID Puerto Rico had a Socialist government I'm not quite sure what your point is! I brought up Puerto Rico because when I had Sowell as a professor one of the things he spoke to was how when he was a young man he believed in Communism. He thought that government could solve problems for people. He started to change his mind on that when he did a study of Puerto Rican sugar cane workers and minimum wage. What he found was the when the government imposed a minimum wage that rather than getting workers more money...it actually got many of them laid off and the government workers running the program didn't seem to care. Rather than making things better for workers...a well meaning program made things much worse.

You point out that Sowells' about face on Marxism resulted from his speculation on the Puerto Rican economic situation. So he took that as an indication of the ill effects of socialism/Marxism. Problem was, Puerto Rico's economic situation was never based on socialism. I explained all this clearly Thomas Sowell Is Supposed to Be an Economist, Right?

But in true troll fashion, you don't have the intellectual courage and honesty to admit error...you just lie, deny and repeat.

By whom? So far, all you've got from your like minded brethren is just repetition, regurgitation and denial, as the chronology of the posts shows. Pathetic retorts at best.

That is a bald faced lie.

Links and evidence were posting proving the OP to be false. As well as the idiotic claims of the cowardly racists who you defend.

Only in your bigoted little mind. I personally posted links to academics of Ivy League caliber who point out the major flaws in Sowell's rhetoric. To date, neither you or you like minded brethren can counter those analysis, so instead you just parrot the SOS and denial....along with that moronic David Duke tactic of calling anyone who factually and logically disproves the dreck you hold sold dear as "racists". Sorry, that didn't work for Davey, and it won't work for you. Now, without rehashing this thread, why don't YOU tell us EXACTLY why Sowell is correct, and his detractors wrong. The reading audience awaits.

Total outright lies. You posted links to academic no bodies who were unable to counter the specific gfacts proviung you wrong. Everyone Knows this including you and you are simply too chilidish to admit facts.

No one awaits because you have been owned.

Ahh, so now you establish a criteria that anyone who is not MSM celebrated by the right wing punditry is an "academic nobody". Funny that, because all of the jokers who praise Sowell fits your criteria. You can't have it both ways, son.

Now, I asked why don't YOU tell us EXACTLY why Sowell is correct, and his detractors wrong. Clearly by this lame smoke screen of yours, you can't meet a simple burden of proof. See, claiming "everybody knows" is NOT EXACTLY giving specifics. You give no examples, you name no names...you just blather generalities and school yard level retorts.

Adults debate with facts and the logic derived from said facts. Adults can use references as support and examples of their contentions.

Clearly, you don't fit that criteria. So unless you can muster something other than another version of the dreck you posted here, I'd say we're done and will move on. Or you can childishly make a false claim to that effect in an effort not to lose face. Whatever.
