In His Own Words - Dr. Benjamin Carson

 
 
Here is a brief summary of Dr. Carson's biography from Wikipedia:
 
"Carson was born in Detroit, Michigan and was raised by his single mother, Sonya Carson.   He struggled academically throughout elementary school, but after his mother reduced his television time and required him to read two books a week and produce written reviews for her, he started to excel in middle school and throughout high school. After graduating with honors from Southwestern High School, he attended Yale University, where he earned a degree in Psychology. He chose to go to Yale because in College Bowl, an old knowledge competition TV program, he saw Yale compete against and defeat many other colleges, including Harvard. Carson wanted to participate in College Bowl, but the program was discontinued. From Yale, he attended University of Michigan Medical School."

Typical rich guy who thinks he is somehow paying too much in taxes. Great idea about the Health Savings Account for people who are rich. The idea of putting money in other people's HSA for every person who cannot afford it without bureaucracy is incredibly specious.

Another fellow who has simple answer to complex questions. As Mencken said, those answers are wrong.

Dillon attacks the man, not his ideas which he dismisses as "simple." Then Dillon throws in a quote to add faux credibility to his comment. In dismissing the concepts of one who has lived the experience Dillon becomes the problem - not the solution. The tolerance on these pages for this nonsense is limited.
