was this from Atlas Shrugged? I can not remember.
She goes on to say:
"Money will always remain an effect and refuse to replace you as the cause. Money is the product of virtue, but it will not give you virtue and it will not redeem your vices. Money will not give you the unearned, neither in matter nor in spirit. Is this the root of your hatred of money?"
"Or did you say it's the love of money that's the root of all evil? To love a thing is to know and love its nature. To love money is to know and love the fact that money is the creation of the best power within you, and your passkey to trade your effort for the effort of the best among men. It's the person who would sell his soul for a nickel, who is loudest in proclaiming his hatred of money--and he has good reason to hate it. The lovers of money are willing to work for it. They know they are able to deserve it. "
Interesting take. Was Ayn a Christian?
Who is John Galt?
SHE'S DOOMING! (but she's probably right)
It's really a pattern. It's the uniparty. We elect incompetent boobs to fix the previous administration. We've been doing this for 75 years.
It was going on in HER time as well. That's why she wrong the books. Of course, she hadn't heard of "RINOs".....yet. The crap she talks about (oh so well) is STILL going on. She was also talking current events, maybe not as bad as now.....We just use different words. It sounds a lot like prophecy reading it now but I read it 40 years ago and it was applicable then.
We do agree. Sorry if I sound agitated, I am, but not at you. The neighbors 3 chiwawas (sp) barking at 5 am woke me up, now THAT is aggravating! Sorry about that :-)
Some here may see it that way but... She was letting future generations know of the peril that awaits if action is not taken.
Exactly! Read the book
She knew.
America is dead. will patriots go out with a bang or a wimper?
I can't answer for the country, but I don't plan on going to any re-education camp..they will have to kill me..at least I will be able to face God and my ancestors with some back bone.

Read Atlas Shrugged. Nuff said.
Prediction, insight or Blue Print? A lot of the age group that is driving business read this as a student and wrote reports on it back then.
Sorry you don't like my comment. Its the age old question. Does art imitate life or life imitate art.
not sure who down-voted..the op did not.
Both I believe.
All true, but I put my faith in the Constitution and the men that adhere to their oaths, they are many and they are building.
