At No Point Have You Kicked Enough Ass

Today's Object of Praise and Admiration is Thomas Sowell, who would, if such a thing existed, be in the OPA Hall of Fame.

This is an exceptionally articulated argument centered around Obama's socialism-masquerading-as-modesty that "at some point, you've made enough money." Thomas Sowell's clarity of thought and sound historical perspective are on full display here. A lesser writer (ahem...) would say "eh...I've kicked enough ass. I'll let this one slide with a snide remark or two." Not Sowell. Sowell understands this comment for what it is: a telling window into the dangerous mind of a far-left radical.

Ayn Rand mused in Atlas Shrugged that a American perspective is responsible for the phrasing of the term "making money." Think about the literal meaning of the idiom as you work your way through Sowell's economic argument, and ask yourself:

Can anyone really make enough money?
