Ayn Rand Was Right

Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged” ought to be required reading for every teenager, before he/she is allowed to live in the world as an adult, and especially before he/she votes. “In the years leading up to 2008—09’s financial meltdown, government control over mortgages, interest rates and America’s banking system was at an all-time high. And yet when crisis struck, free enterprise took the blame. The cure, therefore, was to give government even wider powers. Washington can now bail out any company, fire CEOs, override contracts and print billions of dollars to ‘stimulate’ the economy — all in the name of the public interest. The result? Our deficits and debt continue to mount, and there’s a real possibility of a future like Greece’s.” We’re LIVING in “Atlas shrugged,” now. And few realize it. (The Daily Caller)
