Fireman Shrugged

Atlas Shrugged is a landmark novel, yes.

Atlas Shrugged delineates strong and important concepts of fair play and the role of rational motivation in western society, yes.

Atlas Shrugged is a cure-all for every single malady facing our economy and a Bible for the role of government -- NO!

We offer a slightly edited exchange with John Galt to prove our point:

Mr Thompson: "How would we pay government employees?"

John Galt: "Fire your government employees."

Us: "Um Mr. Galt, your house is on fire."
