There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of The Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with THE real world. The other, OF course, involves orcs. --

Nice quote. I had a spin with both but stopped about halfway through Rand's. Just got bored. The plot was largely non existant, the writing turgid at best, and the ideology just wasn't interesting. Long, long time ago. In a world far away.

It worked so well the first 3 times we should do it again.

It, meaning lowering top tax rates to 25%, eliminating corporate income taxes, etc., was never tried.

But cutting marginal tax rates has worked very well, most particularly, but not only, when Reagan tried it.
