Atlas Shrugged is definitely now non-fiction. Surreal.

I could not think of a better photo to express the natural outcome of socialism, an end game already long known the world over by people who are not pinheads.
Sooner or later, you run out of other people's money~.Margarette Thatcher said that.

As for what the premiere may be thinking, perhaps it is "maybe the suckers will fall for my pity the little girl trying to look pitiful look."

withdraw protection from those who don't give, in order
to protect the corruption which is essential. -- j

I find it so odd that the average person falls for this self-sacrificing poppycock...and never think twice about the fact that their paternal leaders have received some kind of a self-sacrifice dispensation.
BLPPPHHHHHT!
"Ontario has a lot of rich people. They are all government employees. When one of their unions screwed up investments for the retirement fund the Government ....mostly from Ontario did a bail out. The rest of Canada paid for it. This is the same method." The rest aqreed including the Ontarians who added..."did you notice the nicest boats belong to former government employees provincial or national?"
They asked me what I thought of the Presidential race in the USA? "My party doesn't get to have candidates. I'm a Constitutionalist. I'm now an expat. My country disappeared. How do you see the elections?
"You have two front runners, If you compared them to 20th century one would be named Stalin and the other Adolf."
"Actually? It's scary everything is all leftist."
The Ontarians didn't agree. "What's wrong with socialism? We didn't do so badly?"
Like the Europeans a lot from East Europe this year, the Down Unders the biggest comment has to with USA's new status as a police state.
But the most cutting remark was "You know why Obama is letting in all the Muslims? Needs people to staff the DHS. We just don't feel safe anymore.
All the remarks weren't in that direction but one was telling. "US won the Socialist Wars of then 20th Century then gave first place to China.
Finally "Who are you voting for??
"None of the above. Besides it's not my country anymore."
Unfettered world opinion
Those type of remarks are commonplace and have been for the last five years.

That seems fair...
Just in case anyone on the gulch feels like giving the government some money.
I'll have to ask my Canadian relatives if any of them are going to pony up.

This "government " validates the concept of permanent incarceration.
I know that's not what's happening here, but if people will pay voluntarily, does that mean maybe a society could exist with a functioning gov't but not taxes?
One scenario I could see happening here is enforcement via peer group pressure. Since we see how well that has worked with the advancement of the PC culture, it believe it would work well with taxes.
The government my actually profit beyond their dreams as the people fall all over themselves for the bragging rights of giving the most. :)

specific people, but I forgot): If you shrink the
government down to its proper functions (which
are mighty few; to protect people from force [includ-
ing fraud] and violence, e.g., police, law courts, legislature, executive, military forces,
registration of property, including intellectual
property, that it be not stolen, registering of
contracts, including marriage contracts, that
they be not violated, and that's about all), to
finance these you could have contract premiums
(as Ayn Rand suggested), a % on the value
concerned in the contract, if you want it to be
enforceable in court; lotteries; payment on pat-
ents & copyrights, by % (if you don't want to
pay, don't expect the government to protect it),
and--something like the present sales tax in
stores, but make it voluntary. If the store owner
refuses to pay it, don't issue him his Law En-
forcement sticker to put in the window; let him
know that if a robber comes in and he calls 911,
no police will come to that address. If he comes
to the store, and finds that it has been burglar-
ized during the night, the cops won't investigate
the crime, as he has been on record as having
refused to finance his protection. (As to buying
things online, you could have a similar arrange-
ment regarding protecting that website from i-
dentity theft). But mostly people would not be
unwilling to pay Law Enforcement Fee, as it
would not be going for a whole lot of garbage,
as taxes do now, in my utopian Republic of
Laissez-Faire.
so much. Abolish government departments. Shrink
the size of government. Start doing that, and if
you keep it up long enough, and show you are sin-
cere, maybe then I'll send you a buck or two. If
not, forget it.
