<<Countries whose politicians have been able to squander ever larger amounts of a nation's resources have not only failed to make the world more fair, the concentration of more resources and power in these politicians' hands has led to results that were often counterproductive at best, and bloodily catastrophic at worst.>>

Take the above stupid statement by Sowell. The countries he refers to would in fact be the most successful countries like the Scandinavian countries. Denmark has among the highest taxes and very few rich or poor but a large rich and happy middle class.
