Walter E. Williams, Conservative
Walter E. Williams is amazing in that he seems able to talk about a particular subject, and yet capture almost all of the tenants of conservativism all at the same time in his columns.
From his 11/29/06 column, he finds it egregious that "at least two-thirds of the federal budget represents forcing one American to serve the purposes of another. Younger workers are forced to pay for the prescriptions of older Americans; people who are not farmers are forced to serve those who are; nonpoor people are forced to serve poor people; and the general public is forced to serve corporations, college students and other special interests who have the ear of Congress."
That pretty much ecapsulates so much of the core beliefs of true conservativism as well as what is really wrong with our current overindulgent and unconstitutional federal government.
I've never had a desire to become famous, but sometimes I wish I had the pull to get every single American to read and understand certain works or bodies of work. Mr. Williams' writings are among those.
