But perhaps I give him too much credit - to understand what it means to produce, to invent something new, is likely far beyond someone like Colbert, whose only existence is to deride and mock. The very reason Rand wrote so prophetically is because she understood the evil of what Colbert represents in this piece. America is quietly dying under a sea of applause. Please don't support it.

The irony is that most often the people who use Ayn Rand as a justification for low taxes rarely produce anything of value. If only the pundits would take their own advice and go on strike.

People who create nothing and claim that they deserve all the wealth! These same people probably also claim to be Xtians as well, HA! What a Great segment!
