86. David S:
That’s pretty much the entire point of “Atlas Shrugged.”
You cannot forcibly take money and thus, expertise, from someone who has earned the fruits of his labor …and give it to someone who is incompetent, corrupt or lazy and expect good things to happen.
Which is what is happening wrt to pretty much everything in America these days.
“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.”
-Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Cooper, 29 November 1802
