It's time for some of you economic toddlers to get a grip on what's going down. The author's name is Ayn Rand, a Russian who emigrated to the United States in 1925. The book is entitled, Atlas Shrugged. This is required reading. It has 1,000 pages but you won't be able to put it down. This is hands down one of the most significant pieces of literature in our era. And now is the best time to read it because you will be able to relate the story to real-time events. I really can't think of a more appropriate period of time to start reading this, and I'm going to pick up my copy and read it again myself. Are you ready to open your eyes?Denny posted something on this yesterday and links to a very well written article in the Wall Street Journal.

I can't believe it was first published in 1957. Why is it that Ayn Rand, George Orwell and Aldous Huxley could see this shit coming and our idiot politicians can't.
Silly me I forgot. Power hungry asshole politicians only see what they want to keep their power.
My favorite quote from that book is when she says the thing that makes America so great is that we are the ones who coined the phrase...to make money. She goes on explaining how the rest of the world has always looted, burned villages..whatever to get their money, but we Americans..we create it.
