“So you’re saying they should have continued working because society needs them?
Maybe they should have been compelled....you know...for the greater good”
I’m not saying anything about man’s obligation to civilization, nor to the autonomy of the individual, or anything of the sort. I’m merely saying Galt set out to collapse the U.S. economy and succeeded.
Galt DID NOT set out to collapse the economy.
He “sat out” from participating, knowing that the system they created would collapse
He did not want the system to collapse, he did not want them to create such a system that required him to be an unwilling participant.
Like forcing him to buy health insurance.
If we ALL ‘went Galt’ Obamacare would collapse- even though none of us wants that.
