But even the not so great or so-called takers, as Rand might put it, make wealth possible.

Isolating this specific sentence from your post for a reason: What do the "takers" contribute to our society that makes wealth possible?

When the takers get their "free" Obamaphones, how does that benefit you and I? Fact is, it does NOT. I'll be very specific in my response in saying that Non-American nationals like Carlos Slim of Mexico, a billionaire benefits because he's plugged into the Obama White House. The same Obama White House that's paying 3x, 5x the cost of the phone, the service, and cannot control the program and the corruption within it.

How does that benefit you and I? It doesn't. The "takers" DO NOT PROVIDE ANY BENEFIT to a Capitalistic society whatsoever, thus their name, "takers."

You and I have become tax slaves to "feed the takers." They eat by using the force of the Federal Government via their votes to redistribute our hard earned wealth to them. They drive cars, because our wealth is taken from us by force of Government, and re-distributed to them. They watch cable tv and have all the benefits of our society without contributing one iota of effort to it. The problem: They outnumber us at this point and they vote. They vote each and ever election for bigger, more government to steal my/our wealth, and redistribute it to their no good lazy government cheese eating fat lazy asses. That to me means NOTHING this government does at any level is via my "consent."

My voice is not heard, my voice does not matter to this Government. The only thing that DOES matter to this government is that I keep working so they can keep stealing the results of my labors, and re-distribute it to the TAKERS.

Are those the takes you mean, or did you have a different definition of the word?

I’m not talking about the real takers/parasites who don’t do a lick of work and expect everybody else to house and feed them...I’m talking about the millions who work hard for not-rich wages. Rand seems to think little of those people. But they contribute as well. That’s all. It’s not just a tiny groups of technical and financial geniuses who make the country work (many of whom vote for Obama). It’s everybody who works hard and loves their country.
