Funny. More and more people who read that book are seeing the similarity in what is going on here. But there is no Galt to save us. Unless he is us.

I expect a “Anti-Dog-Eat-Dog” legislation soon after the “stimulus” bill fails........

No! You are John Galt. I am John Galt. That’s the point. When you get to the point where you realize that your productivity is used for the benefit of those who do not, cannot, and are contemptuous of those who produce - you shrug.

That is what we are seeing right now, regardless if those shrugging are familiar with Rand. They realize that there is a paradigm shift in the relationship between the citizen and its government. This country runs not on the spectacular profits of the ExxonMobils of the world, but upon the workaday electricians, carpenters, landscapers, mechanics. When they see what is going on in Washington, and believe me they know what the term trillion means, they are going to vote with their wallets. Look for tax receipts to plummet to unimaginably low amounts.

We are the ones we've been waiting for.
