“When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing; when you see that money is flowing to those who deal not in goods, but in favors; when you see that men get rich more easily by graft than by work, and your laws no longer protect you against them, but protect them against you, you may know that your society is doomed.”
Ayn Rand
Thanks for nothing. You just ruined the day. Over the years I’ve re-read ATLAS several times, and each time grew more and more concerned for the future of the country.
Tonight I will start once again. Please tell me, will this reading of Atlas Shrugged be the new reading of a novel or will it be an accurate mixture of HISTORY and PREDICTION?
When our children read this book it will have become HISTORY and thus, the end of a good day.
