When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing; when you see that money is flowing to those who deal not in goods, but in favors; when you see that men get rich more easily by graft than by work, and your laws no longer protect you against them, but protect them against you...you may know that your society is doomed. - Ayn Rand - Atlas Shrugged

Edward, thanks for the reminder. How is it that those guys are so smart and determined to do the right thing when we elect them and then…

Edward, sad but true. I believe Ann Rand had a good understanding of communism.

Edward, I haven't read that since I was in high school. I loved it then and it may be time to get it out again.

A long-time favorite of mine.  Sort of the capitalist's guidebook.  Thanks for reminding us all...

The people are fighting back and we are not doomed if we awaken and do not accept their way of behavior.

I haven't thought of that book in years but how appropriate it is in these times. Thanks for reminding me to pick it up and read it again.  Nice correlation.

That was a great book, been a few decades since I read it, time to go back and check it out.

Edward... yes, this is sad but true.  And who do we have to thank for this ?  The two newest Supreme Court Justices... and I am using the word "justice"... very loosely, here.

By the way... I read Atlas Shrugged many, many years ago... and my memory needs an update.  So... I will re-read.  Thanks for the idea.

Love Ayn Rand.

Thanks for sharing this...she was truly an amazing author. I was hooked when I read The Fountainhead. Wouldn't mind rereading them again
