Were it not for the ongoing indoctrination of the school system, people would understand capitalism. If students for the last 15 years had been exposed to these quotes and the writings of Rand, rather than to humanist Marxism, we would not be in the shape we are today.

Great quotes...really annoying page to maneuver around on. I wish more public figures would start saying these quotes...why don't they already anyway?

I like the idea of refuting the "You didn't build that!" argument by suggesting that lawmakers and politicians be transported back into the past... (Kinda a compelling image, eh?)...to try to recreate technology by fiat. No. Does not work. You need techies to create technology: They did 'build that'.

I've got an original apothegm to join this list:

A common garden-variety thief is an unauthorized wealth-redistribution agent.

Quite #8 begins with "Money is the barometer of a society's virtue."
She said that back then. Now is now.
How does that quote relate to printing legal currency based on nothing?

    Nothing is too big to fail. It's called free market capitalism.
    The USA government did not lift a finger to help a stock market crash in 1920. What followed? Just the Roaring Twenties!
    "Stimulating the economy" by running up the debt is also corrupt.
    It's just Obama's new twist on the Cloward and Piven wreck the economy socialist conspiracy plan.

Ms Rand has taught us that social democrats always prove that they are idiots. If one says nothing but joins the socialists they look like idiots but it is when they open their mouths they prove it.

The 13th and 14th amendments ended slavery; the 16th started it again (more broadly).
Be sure to get to the vote for the woman to replace Andy Jackson on the 20 dollar bill; Ayn Rand is winning.

    After I thumbed through all the Ayn Rand quotations, the next screen up talked about a poll. With a little mousing about I got to the take the poll page.

By reading the comments I'm compelled to ask

Wisdom lies in understanding what one does not know. An idiot is only an idiot who refuses to acknowledge this simple observation.

I am wearing puchero face (pouting) for not being able to read more than three seconds of the first page.
