Rush Agrees With Me, Read Atlas Shrugged

I have been suggesting everyone read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand for years now. Seems Rush Limbaugh agrees with me.

Here is what Rush had to say, Read Atlas Shrugged, Again:

RUSH: How many of you have read the book
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand? I read the book and The Fountainhead, a number of them. Atlas Shrugged for those of you who haven’t read it, I’ll give you the basic book report summary. It is basically about the achievers of life quitting, because they’re tired of being 1% of the population pulling the other 99% in the cart. They’re tired of everything they earned being taxed; they’re tired of everything they earn being taken from them and given to everybody else, and they quit, and when they quit, nobody has anything. They just throw up their hands in frustration and say, “Screw it.”

The book is also a guide on how to defeat socialism and liberalism. I will go so far as to say most of Rush’s philosophy is derived from Atlas Shrugged and Ayn Rand. Rush goes on to read some quotes from the book that you can listen to here.

And once again Rush is right,

Wow. The whole book is like this, by the way. It’s one of these things that if you haven’t read it, get it. It’s a long book, but you’re not going to be able to put it down.

If you are intimidated by the size of Atlas Shrugged then you are not really one of the 1% of achievers in this world. I am telling you Rush and I are not just blowing smoke about this book. If you ever wondered why some people just don’t get it you’ll know after you read Atlas Shrugged.
