For the readers out there, I suggest that you try and wade through this 1200 page novel by the subject author. It clearly demonstrates where this country is headed without an awakening by the American People and a serious change of leadership. For those of you that prefer, the movie is available from Amazon to buy or rent and if you have a Netflix account you can watch it for free.
The movie is quicker but certainly demonstrates what will happen if "big government" continues to get bigger and the American people allow it to happen.
Basically, Ayn Rand believed that the government is trying to convince people that we should feel ashamed if we want to be rewarded for our hard work and that we should put the needs of others above our own.
The entire 2nd amendment is under siege unless we vote out those that do not support our constitutional rights. I think the astute members of this forum will enjoy the read or the movie. By the way, part II of Atlas Shrugged is in theaters now. So watch the first....it's a bit of a scare but brings a lot to light.
