‘Atlas Shrugged’: The First Tea Party Movie?

[PROCON]

About 9 million adults are active Tea Partiers, and 45 million support the movement, a CBS/New York Times poll says.

Atlas Shrugged, a novel in which society’s most productive citizens choose to disappear, was published in 1957, and filmmakers have spent nearly every year since trying to adapt it. They finally succeeded, and the first part of what’s planned as a trilogy comes out April 15. If you didn’t know that, it’s likely you’re not a member of the Tea Party.

In a duel of minds between Rand and Donahue - Rand argues with a unarmed man.

Milton Friedman is/was my hero ;o)

I LOVE this short clip below where Friedman annihilates the ignorant doanahue...This clip is the whole ball of wax - spells out the historic battle between the free and the forced - between those who would live free and allow his fellow man to and those who think that man needs to be controlled and that, with hubris on steroids, THEY are the ones who need to decide and control.
