If we that taxpayer paid for the research that created a patentable product, why should the taxpayer not get some benefit ?

I'm thinking the same thing, at the least we should get our investment back.

That would have taken longer. But you’re right, Atlas Shrugged should be on the bottom...

I finally saw one of the ‘Hunger Games’ on cable last week. Even though I like Jennifer Lawrence, the movie was stupid. I don’t plan on seeing any more of them..............

He who pays the piper, calls the tune.
I agree with you. There are consequences for actions. Perhaps a stake in the profits up to the amount the taxpayers ‘invested’ no more, no less. But as with all Dem schemes, they will reward their friends and punish their enemies. Same as it ever was. “The Vampire Economy”.

Ok I have questions and I'm NOT being snarky asking them (for a change.)

I'll start with the most basic one after reading the summary of your and BillTheDrill's book:

If I can read your book and have each chapter summarized, pointing out what it is Ayn Rand is saying in plain language, why would I then bother reading the book? Were you aiming for the "Cliff's Notes" version of Atlas Shrugged, or a supplemental to it?

Please don't get me wrong: Not being snarky or a smartass (like I'd normally be) I'm really genuinely curious.

Personally, I like "the journey" of reading Ayn Rand and picking up something new that I might not have understood previously (not unlike my Bible) and having that "ah ha!" moment.

Last comment: I originally read Atlas Shrugged the first time in paperback. Loved it so much I bought it in hardcover. I do so enjoy reading the hardcover more than a paperback.

We're way beyond "Cliff's Notes." A lot has changed since the publication of "Atlas" in 1957, and many readers find things in the book to be strange to modern sensibilities. We go into detail about these things and provide the kind of social and financial history that you won't find in "Cliff's Notes."

If you read a chapter of "Atlas" followed by reading a chapter of our book, you'll get so much more out of "Atlas."
