OT: Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged”

[Anonymous]

I don’t think its fair to compare today’s economy with a true capitalist/laissez faire economy/society. Having said that, I don’t think Mr Galt would be leading the captains of industry if he knew what greedy scoundrels they turned out to be. To have free market society you have to have integrity.

An engineer by trade, Galt’s actions include withdrawing his talents, “stopping the motor of the world,” and leading the “strikers” (in this case the captains of industry) against the “looters” (in this case the mob rule of strikers and the common man). The

Obama said in his inaugural speech, “the selflessness of workers who would rather cut their hours than see a friend lose their job which sees us through our darkest hours.” This is a primer for taxing the productive and rewarding the inefficient. In other words a bailout for everyone paid for by the hard workers. This administration looks like it is a live play based on Atlas Shrugged. This first week has been a doosey;
– Stopping the war on terror
– Exporting abortion around the world
– Tax cuts to people that don’t pay taxes
– $4,000,000,000 to neighborhood stabilization
– Tax scofflaw appointed to lead IRS
– Apologizing to Arabs
– Bombing Pakistan
– Fake Yo Yo Ma
– Lobbyist for Deputy Defense Secretary
– Controlling dissenters

It may become a crime to work hard and keep your money.
