Will Atlas Shrug?
. . . Her novel is more relevant than ever today for America and the rest of the Western World as creeping socialism is becoming galloping socialism. The only question is not the repetitive catchphrase of the novel, “Who is [the protagonist] John Galt?” but rather, “Can and will Atlas shrug once again and dump the takers from his back?”
It’s wishful thinking but we can all wish, right? So, I wish that mythological Titan, the deity of crushing burdens, gives just a little shrug and then let’s see how well society’s leeches and hangers-on subsist.
My guess is that, as in Atlas Shrugged, they wouldn’t do very well.
