The America that pays them is getting near collapse, I'll tell you. Most of the middle and upper middle class people around me, as well as my co-workers in the company I work for, work extremely hard, put in lots of hours, and have both members of the family working. These are well off people, but not rich by any meaning of the term.
They are the ones who Democrats (and some traitorous Republicans) villify as the "rich", or at least who the welfare class believes are the rich. There's no way they can work harder. At some point, Atlas is going to shrug, and the politicians are going to have to scramble to figure out how they adapt.
It would be interesting what would happen if the producers in this country said no for once and leave the whiners and problem children politicians to fend for themselves.
