Have you read Atlas Shrugged? This is playing out exactly like in the book!

Chet - despite the fact that you and I have one or two areas of disagreement, and I have posted a few snarky comments to you in the past, on this we can agree.

Life is imitating art (or fiction in this case.)

I would that it would imitate it even further, but alas, I have yet to find a real-life John Galt or Ragnar Danneskold, although I have fancied myself in the mentor role of Akston, should suitable individuals present themselves.

I keep seeing posts referring to that title, but know nothing about the book. Can you tell me a little more?

I am 3/4 of the way through Atlas Shrugged, and the parallels are FRIGHTENING. It should be required reading for congress. The redistribution of wealth, the salary caps... a must read.

The parallels between Atlas Shrugged and the current regime is CHILLING.
