Even Ayn Rand Knew
She may have preached elitism, but at least her elites added something to society
We're not big Ayn Rand supporters here at eldfjall.org, but here's an interesting quote from Atlas Shrugged:
“When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - When you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - When you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you - When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - You may know that your society is doomed.”
Yes, it's easy to get frustrated with our corrupt political system. But we must always remember that the politicians are just tools of the billionaires. The money-changers only take, they never give back unless forced to. They keep us forever in their debt. It's time to change the system!
