Putting Words in John Galt’s Mouth

Sunday, April 5th, 2009

This, from here:

Most people ‘going Galt’ refuse to recognize the final moral meaning of it; it’s a form of nonviolent social protest, and something you do on account of principle, and you should expect to pay a significant penalty for doing it.

Note the ultimatum: “you should expect to pay a significant penalty for doing it.” That “it” is minding your own damn business, and that chiseler presumes that you should pay dearly to someone for doing so.
