RAY DALIO ON TRUMP: 'If You Haven’t Read Ayn Rand Lately, I Suggest That You Do'
businessinsider.com ^ | Dec. 19, 2016

Posted on 12/24/2016 9:16:10 AM PST by Helicondelta

Ray Dalio, the founder of Bridgewater Associates, the world's biggest hedge fund firm, says people should expect a major shift under President-elect Donald Trump.

"Regarding economics, if you haven’t read Ayn Rand lately, I suggest that you do as her books pretty well capture the mindset," he wrote in a LinkedIn post on Monday. "This new administration hates weak, unproductive, socialist people and policies, and it admires strong, can-do, profit makers."

The post continued:

"It wants to, and probably will, shift the environment from one that makes profit makers villains with limited power to one that makes them heroes with significant power. The shift from the past administration to this administration will probably be even more significant than the 1979-82 shift from the socialists to the capitalists in the UK, US, and Germany when Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, and Helmut Kohl came to power."

Dalio described Trump as a " deal maker who negotiates hard, and doesn’t mind getting banged around or banging others around." He added that the president elect had picked a team of people who are "bold and hell-bent on playing hardball" to enact change in economics, foreign policy, education and environment policies.

"It is increasingly obvious that we are about to experience a profound, president-led ideological shift that will have a big impact on both the US and the world," he said.

And my personal favorite, one that totally escapes libs, SJWs and other spiral-eyed crazy leftist loons:

“You can evade reality, but you cannot evade the consequences of evading reality.”

Maybe because she had important things to say even though she was imperfect, and despite her not being a beauty queen?

maybe if you agree with the speech, but she wasn't writing it for the right, she wrote it to convert the left... and for that she had to write at the third grade level

And it’s the reason the Dems and establishment Republicans are trying to stop Trump. Once the American people see a productive country again under Trump maybe they’ll realize we’ve been hoodwinked with almost thirty years of purposely incompetent globalist governance from Old Man Bush to Obama. Perhaps then the majority of people will start rejecting the two major parties and their establishment wings for good.

The ramblings of someone who lived on gov’t assistance in real life? No thanks. I still have a stack of real literature to get through.

A return to self-reliance and individuality and away from Marxism where one size fits all and individual thought is not allowed. Go..............TRUMP! Destroy the Commie Clutter in Washington and the effect will spread.

Maybe Aleister Crowley and Anton Lavey had important things to say despite being evil, crazy etc. Maybe not.
