The Vision of the Anointed by Thomas Sowell is an outstanding book. Since the book was written decades ago, Sowell has continued to be proven true over and over again. Those in politics and government who “claim” the moral high ground with words alone, lacking any facts or long term data, change laws or policies in a self proclaimed attempt to “help the poor”, only make the poor more dependent on government handouts (aka: US taxpayers money) while lining their own pockets with much of our funds.
Sowell shows the actual “vision of the anointed” is to take the money from those of us who work hard and “redistribute” to themselves and those they deem worthy of our money, often their corporate donors, friends, family members and themselves. The self proclaimed “anointed” only want power over the masses and will say and do anything to keep that power once they have it. Sowell explains this is detail. Great book. I highly recommend it.
