Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

Have you read this book?

It is a good novel by a famous writer. It has to do with the mysterious disappearance of the best and brightest business leaders around the country. All were visited by John Galt and then were gone. Pick it up and read it. It has to do with a government taking over, taxing and controlling those who create wealth until they can’t take it anymore.

Ayn’s writings and philosophy of objectivism influenced modern libertarians.

She believed in more freedom and less government.

Government “help” to business is just as disastrous as government persecution… the only way a government can be of service to national prosperity is by keeping its hands off.”
Ayn Rand

I agree with this philosophy. When steel mill’s faltered and filed Chapter 11 in 2001, the government let the market take care of it, and out of the ashes rose a stronger group of steel mills in this country.

Will the same be true for Chrysler and GM?
