I agree on Ayn Rand. Although, all she did was look at basic human nature. I think we are going to see a lot of examples of "Atlas Shrugged". People saying "fuck this", it just ain't worth it anymore. I think the first examples are being seen in California where business (including movie productions) are moving out of state because of the tax burden. Pretty soon the residents are going to do the same. Great state, very beautiful, lots of things to do, but is it worth it to pay 10% sales tax? What's going to happen when all of the business owners say "screw this! it just isn't worth it to work hard and take risks when it's just taken away from me. I'm going to get a government job!!!" where's the money going to come from then?
