This isn't a valid criticism for many reasons. One, Galt's Gulch is not a talk radio response to anything. It's easy to take any idea of merit, associate it with Rush Limbaugh and then discard it. Try to understand the argument and then respond. Secondly, the men who Galt removes from society are those who everyone else depends on. No one depends on a Subway worker. And minimum wage won't be worth anything when the dollar crashes from over-inflation. Read the book again without prejudice.

Thank you mr. gnome, very helpful.

Your analyses of a 1,042 page body of work that created an intellectual revolution, a new political party as well as a new philosophy was brilliantly summed in your ignorant statement. You should pat yourself on your back for having briefly glanced through Noam Chomsky's critique of Atlas Shrugged rather than reading for yourself & coming up with an original thought. Then, instead of embarrassing yourself you would've discovered the real point of the book.

The hilarious thing about Atlas Shrugged is that it assumes that some people are not dispensable. Everyone is dispensable. Every arrogant "super-producer" is merely holding back another individual who can do the same thing better than they can, but hasn't yet. Secondly, who in their right mind having read Atlas Shrugged once would ever willingly read the horrible turgid thing again ? It was snore boring when I didn't know the ending.

I hear black people base their lives on a shitty pieces of fiction like the Bible and the Koran. It isn't a race thing.

@traffik0001

That work of fiction is based on something too.

@traffik0001 As opposed to all of the religious people in the world...

I'm "Going Galt" and have even written a book on the subject titled "Going Galt: Surviving Edonomic Armageddon". Most people can't drop out 100%, but you can aggressively prepare for the bad times both financially and through stockpiling and self reliance measures. Search Daxton Brown for a video.

[traffik0001]

Wow- is it me, or is it only white people are stupid enough base their lives on a shitty work of fiction?

Thumbs up if you agree.
