“There are a billion Chinese and another billion Indian guys...”
When “Atlas Shrugged” was published in 1957, it hadn’t yet occurred to anyone that there could be such a thing as a U.N.-sanctioned global tax to sustain the moochers and the looters.
Hussein’s “Global Poverty Act” could cut both ways: it would “spread U.S. wealth around” to places outside the U.S.; it could also spread foreign wealth around inside the U.S.
It’s simply a step toward world socialism and de facto one-world government. Could this be part of hussein’s oft-repeated phrase, “I’m going to change the world?”
I’m continually amazed at how many normally smart individuals still think Atlas Shrugged and Rand are actually worth the time. Aside from being a refugee from the Soviet Union and staunch anti-communist, she has little to make her acceptable to conservatives. She was, for instance, very much pro-abortion and her personal life would have been less than acceptable to the most open-minded conservative.
That said, she had little real understanding of capitalism. At every step of the way she treated it as a doctrine on par with communism, superior, but pretty much the same.
