Fifty-three minutes and fifty-eights seconds of pure propaganda. Why do you post this crap?Quote:

It probably suggests some of the following:
These evil rich bastids got rich by taking money from all the poor.
The poor are poor all because of the evil rich.
There wouldn't be any poor if it weren't for all the rich.
The way to achieve the progressive's loony egalitarian utopia can be realized if only the rich can be relieved of their own wealth and give it to someone else.
The disparity and gap between rich and poor can be eliminated if only the omniscient progressives were in total control.
Capitalism and free markets of are causes of this wealth disparity and needs to be abolished if we are all to live in this glorious utopia.
It's all because of profits and LT can tell us all just how much profits anyone should make and not exceed.
The pie is just a given of a certain size and the rich just have more than their fair share and they hold the idea that free market activities don't increase the size of the pie.
They hold that wealth isn't something produced by individuals but something that can be fairly and equitably distributed by the progressive loons.
Amazingly that list just goes on and on repeating those always failed loony ideas that have been tried in the past with out any noticeable success.
And this list of failed loonyness will continue and can be seen in the future postings from EB, LT and the puzzled lady. What a stunning confidence they display that this time it all can work out with out any noticeable success from past efforts in this vain.
On and on and on and on and on they go.
Now since I didn't actually waste my time watching this video please tell me where I went wrong in my take on this and how I've completely missed the gist of this video.

First of all, roughly half the country hasn't completely lost their minds, so I'm staying. Second, you would miss us. Read Atlas Shrugged for the details.Quote:

For a quick and time saving glance about some of Ayn Rand's ideas here is a video of a presentation given 11/12/12 to some folks in Lafayette, CO.Quote:

You are free to worship at the feet of Ayn Ryad, and Mitt Romney, you can insist the word or even concept of "Greed" cannot concievably be grasp by their innocent and selfless purely angellic ability to almost magically making other people`s money and retirements and careers fall into the possesion of their saintly and supremely ultra human investors but only because their financially devoted and disiplined moral supremacy is SO gleamingly irredesant as to BLIND the "unbelievers" into just abandoning ALL possible profits to the RIGHTOUS and JUST disposal of the GODS of WALL STREET ! ALL bow LOW to the super human CEOs ! HEIL Ayn Ryad ! No thought but HIS can possibly the TRUE "religion" ! No thank you...
Once again you've demonstrated that you are totally and utterly clueless about Ayn Rand and her philosophy of Objectivism which I would guess is your preferred status with any of Ayn Rand's ideas supporting liberty. And from your postings it is apparent you like all libs don't value liberty and reside in the coercive collectivist camp that has historically always resulted in a very abject tyrannical situation for the masses whenever collectivism reigns supreme. Here is a short article published in Readers Digest in 1944 and it is just as pertinent to the issues of then as the issues of today.Quote:

A short segment from that article "The Passive Man is found on every level of society, in mansions and in slums, and his identification mark is his dread of independence. He is a parasite who expects to be taken care of by others, who wishes to be given directives, to obey, to submit, to be regulated, to be told. He welcomes collectivism, which eliminates any chance that he might have to think or act on his own initiative. "
Now, as a result of the election, that POS Oblamer and his thug regime is relishing their orgasmic state as they write all their rules and regulations so everyone can live happily ever after in this utopian bliss.
Then apply to "cecede", bind yourself to no one, do your own will, accumulate as much wealth as humanly possible and live as your own personal "god", answerable to NO ONE. Don`t pay ANY taxes and declare yourself a "soverign citizen", above the law. Have your venomous haterd of those you feel are not "equal" to yourself. But remember this, sir. No matter how you slice it there are many more of US (the "47 %" ) than you. And we VOTE...
Wow! What the heck did you read to come with such an insane incomprehensible rant. That response shows you have some real cognitive issues and in need of some professional help. Your superiors in service must have really wondered what kind of results they would eventually see when you were given any kind of assignment.Quote:

Your credo is very aptly described in the definition of democracy with the phrase of "two cannibals and a missionary voting on whats for supper". All very illuminating indeed.Quote:
