I didn't mention this on the show, but I once wrote an email to Walter Williams to let him know how moved I was by an interview I had watched.  And he responded very graciously to a high school me, all those years ago.

"If a private person took money from one person and gave it to another, we'd deem it theft and, as such, immoral. Does the same act become moral when Congress takes people's money to give to farmers, airline companies or an impoverished family?"

"The suggestion that Congress ought to take part of [Michael] Jordan's earnings and give it to someone else is the same as arrogantly saying, "I know better who ought to receive those dollars."

"It was practices like [the affirmative action practices] of the University of Michigan, but against blacks, that were the focal point of much of the civil rights movement."

"I say America's nearly 50 million smokers should not timidly comply with one attack after another. I doubt there's jail space to house all of us."

“When you read in the newspaper that the government has taken Walter Williams' guns, then you will know that Walter Williams is dead.”
