“Who is John Galt?” indeed.
This current crop of arrogant, tax-increasing, aspiring totalitarians may one day find a way to remove the ability to move around freely. (They’re very creative when it comes to manipulation and propaganda.)
IMHO
"A viler evil than to murder a man, is to sell him suicide as an act of virtue. A viler evil than to throw a man into a sacrificial furnace, is to demand that he leap in, of his own free will, and that he build the furnace besides.”
And so, rather than submit to government directed suicide, they simply left.
And the idiots in the Maryland state gummint can't figure this out????
Sheeeeeesh!
