The question is, are we John Galts who will remove ourselves from feeding the beast and let the country implode so we can rebuild it?
Or are we Eddie Willers who believe in vain that we can continue to work ourselves to death to try to save what is left of this country.
The pessimist in me says we've gone over the cliff and things are going to be worse before they get better.

I believe Thomas Aquinas considered profit to be morally neutral with any virtue or vice coming from what a person did with his profits. Rand however considered the very act of making a profit virtue.

Because of the Zappa and Python connections we’ll have to share a bier sometime.
