Don’t really see black voters moving for Trump, the GOP or getting rid of social programs. He is a right wing operative, pure and simple 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westside Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 On 6/24/2020 at 11:46 AM, Tiberius said: Economist Thomas Sowell on Monday compared the tariffs implemented during the Great Depression to President Donald Trump’s aluminum and steel duties. “The Smoot Hawley tariffs of 1930 had a lot more to do with the Great Depression than the stock market,” Sowell told FOX Business’ Neil Cavuto on “Cavuto: Coast to Coast.” “Unemployment was nowhere near as low the first year after the stock market as it was in the first five months after those tariffs went in. During the Great Depression in the 1930s, we had trade surpluses, but it didn’t do us a bit of good.” Earlier this month, the president announced that the United States will impose a 25% tariff on steel and 10% on aluminum. There is also speculation that the president is considering imposing broad tariffs on imports from China. “Conceivably, a catastrophic mistake depends on how far he wants to push it,” Sowell said.

The cities are driving our economy, the rural areas are not. There are numerous hard core Red counties in southwestern NY and northwestern PA where living in a ramshackle trailer park is considered "lower middle class". I'm sure there are many similar economically depressed rural areas all through the US, but those are areas I know first hand. Still, rural folks keep buying the bullcrap the Republicans are selling.

B-Man Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 8 hours ago, Tiberius said: So he makes a living telling blacks not to vote Democrat. Paid writer Thomas Sowell is an American economist and social theorist who is currently a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. Sowell was born in North Carolina but grew up in Harlem, New York. He dropped out of Stuyvesant High School and served in the United States Marine Corps during the Korean War. He received a bachelor's degree, graduating magna ***** laude from Harvard University in 1958 and a master's degree from Columbia University in 1959. In 1968, he earned his doctorate in economics from the University of Chicago. Sowell has served on the faculties of several universities, including Cornell University and University of California, Los Angeles. He has also worked for think tanks such as the Urban Institute. Since 1980, he has worked at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. He writes from a libertarian conservative perspective. Sowell has written more than thirty books (a number of which have been reprinted in revised editions), and his work has been widely anthologized. He is a National Humanities Medal recipient for innovative scholarship which incorporated history, economics and political science.
