It's more than a virtue. It's how we reward people for creating jobs. More profits mean more jobs. Less profits means fewer jobs. No profits means no jobs.

Atlas Shrugged's Timeless Moral: Profit-Making Is Virtue, Not Vice...Uh, well, the problem was solved centuries before Rand took it up. St. Thomas, for one, has a bit to say about economics.
It's like saying "Gilligan's Island's Timeless Moral is Getting Off The Island." (When we all know the timeless moral of Gilligan's Island is that any red-blooded man would take Ginger or Maryanne.

You need to put an “Objectivist Caucus” tag on the title, owing to the religious fervor Rand stirs up in her disciples.

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.
