Roasting Walter Williams, by Thomas Sowell, 19 Sep 2003
"Walter Williams is the only debater to leave Jesse Jackson speechless. On another occasion, he flabbergasted Ted Koppel when a woman on welfare said that she didn't have enough money to take care of all her children and Walter replied: 'Did you ever consider that you might have had too many children for the money?'" |
Whoa, Walter!, by Charley Reese, 4 Sep 2006

"Walter Williams ... says, "Today's Americans are vastly different from those of my generation who fought the life-and-death struggle of World War II." Whoa, Walter, that's jive, and you know it. You were born in 1936. You were 9 years old when World War II ended. Your generation didn't fight any struggle. You've spent your adult life in academia." |
Williams can't duck campaign pushes, by Robert Stacy McCain, The Washington Times, 9 Feb 2007
Related Topic: Ron Paul
"The 'Mallard Fillmore' comic strip has spent the past two weeks promoting the George Mason University economics professor as a 2008 candidate -- with some success, judging from Mr. Williams' e-mail in-box. 'I've been inundated,' the 70-year-old Mr. Williams said of responses to cartoonist Bruce Tinsley's strip, which has prominently featured Mr. Williams' e-mail address ..." |

Dangers of No Tax Liability, 13 Sep 2004
Related Topic: Taxation
"... 122 million Americans are outside of the federal income tax system ... if you have no income tax liability, how much do you care about how much Congress spends and the level of taxation? ... every American should get one additional vote for every $10,000 he pays in federal income tax." |

"Bastiat ... said ... 'the bad economist confines himself to the visible effect; the good economist takes into account both the effect that can be seen and those effects that must be foreseen.' ... economists Chan and Woodward ... can't see ... what those resources would have been used for had there not been hurricane destruction" |

"The broken window fallacy was seen in a column written by Princeton University Professor Paul Krugman after the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center ... If [he] is right, wouldn't the terrorists have done us a bigger economic favor if they had destroyed buildings in other cities?" |

Economics of Prices, 31 May 2006
Related Topic: Prices
"Say you owned ... coffee that you purchased for $3 a pound. Each week you'd sell me a pound for $3.25. Suppose ... the world price ... [rises] to $5 a pound. ... I'm betting that you're going to charge me at least $5 a pound. Why? Because that's today's cost to replace your inventory. Historical costs do not determine prices; what economists call opportunity costs do." |

"A balanced budget is no panacea. For example, suppose Congress spent $6 trillion and taxed us $6 trillion. We'd have a balanced budget, but we'd be far freer with today's unbalanced budget. The fact of business is that the true measure of the impact of government on our lives is not the taxes we pay but the level of spending." |

Minimum Wage, Maximum Folly, 18 May 1999
Related Topic: Minimum Wage Laws
"The fact of business is that no Congressman or Senator owes his seat to the teenage vote, but many do owe their seats to the union vote and other interests who benefit from higher minimum wages. ... If unions can make part of the labor market less competitive through minimum wages, they can demand higher wages for their members." |
Minimum wage, Maximum folly, 23 Mar 2005
Related Topic: Minimum Wage Laws
"The idea that minimum wage legislation is an anti-poverty tool is simply sheer nonsense. Were it an anti-poverty weapon, we might save loads of foreign aid expenditures simply by advising legislators in the world's poorest countries, such as Haiti, Bangladesh and Ethiopia, to legislate higher minimum wages." |
