When A Nation Is Doomed - A Definition...
Zero Hedge ^ | 05/03/2016 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 05/03/2016 9:30:27 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Cynics, skeptics, and fiction-peddlers are frowned upon by the Obama administration (and the mainstream media) when it comes to our glorious leader's economic miracle. So we thought a simple litmus test might be useful to judge just how 'doomed' the nation really is...

"When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing;

 

when you see that money is flowing to those who deal not in goods, but in favors;

 

when you see that men get rich more easily by graft than by work;

 

and your laws no longer protect you against them, but protect them against you;

 

...you may know that your society is doomed."

 

Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand

You decide.

Yikes, that site made my computer all buggy.

Lots of embedded video stuff on that page.

And I say that as a person who respects Zero Hedge.

Add NoScript to your browser if you’re using Firefox. It will give you some control over sites like that.

Don’t worry. Trump to the rescue. He’s a producer and has been all his life. He’s a doer, not just a talker.
