Conservatives are in a rage after Obama suggested we add value to the economy together. In their version, only the rich do. [....] “The man at the top of the intellectual pyramid contributes the most to all those below him, but gets nothing except his material payment, receiving no intellectual bonus from others to add to the value of his time. The man at the bottom who, left to himself, would starve in his hopeless ineptitude, contribute nothing to those above him, but receives the bonus of all their brains.” -Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged, required reading for Representative Paul Ryan’s (R-WI) staff.
