Eat the Rich of course!

We finally know who John Galt is






 One of the weird consequences of the 2008 financial meltdown and the measures taken to counteract it (enormous sums of money to help banks) was the revival in the work of Ayn Rand, the closest one can come to the ideologist of the “greed is good” radical capitalism. The sales of her magnum opus Atlas Shrugged exploded again.
 
According to some reports, there are already signs that the scenario described in Atlas Shrugged—the creative capitalists themselves going on strike—is being enacted.
 
The ridicule of this reaction is that it totally misreads the situation: Most of the gigantic sums of bail-out money went precisely to the Randian deregulated “titans” who failed in their “creative” schemes and thereby brought about the meltdown. It is not the great creative geniuses who are now helping lazy ordinary the people, the ordinary taxpayers, who are helping the failed “creative geniuses.”
 
One should simply recall that the ideologico-political father of the long economic process that ended up in the 2008 meltdown was Alan Greenspan, a card-carrying Randian “objectivist.”
 
Now we finally know who John Galt is—the idiot responsible for the 2008 financial meltdown and, consequentially, for the ongoing shutdown.

It wasn't the government demanding that there be a house in every pot, it wasn't a Democratic party that came into power at the exact same time as the meltdown, It wasn't a continued failed economic policy, IT WAS THOSE EVIL RICH AGAIN!!!

These libs need to take a stand.  Only work for liberals. Only live in liberal cities.  They need to stand up for what they spew.

I can't wait for the rich to lose or take all their money and go away. No job, no income, it'll be nirvana!

El_Johns should learn to either proofread or stop posting while high, that was a horribly-written slice of crap pie.  However, to be fair, Atlas Shrugged did not really take into account the level of inbred, institutionalized corruption between big money guys and big corporate guys like we have now.  Of course, in Rand's heyday, the level of government expenditures of public money for anything but national defense didn't penetrate the economy even remotely like the way it does now, and even then many of the national defense large expenditures were in government-run or government-owned facilities such as arsenals and naval shipyards.

In addition to characters like Raines, Frank and Carter the architects of the financial meltdown continue to get rewarded for their destruction...
