Question: in Atlas shrugged, the capitalists all left their toils and disappeared to a distant remote hideaway apart from the rotters… where is it that you would go today? Perhaps, capitalists who believe in free people and free markets, need to consider a place where they would at least outnumber the rotters (certainly not in NY), I’m not sure where that would be, but if enough capitalists decided to migrate to one place, could that even work? Like the old saying says, “you can run, but you can’t hide”. At some point, if you care about America’s future, you just gotta stand and fight… even if you lose… better to lose fighting for what is right than losing one’s soul and being a rotter. Who IS John Galt?
