Give back? Yes, It's time for the 99% To Give Back To The 1% -> OMDFG

That's the title of an article in Forbes. For some reason I can't copy and paste the first four paragraphs...

You can read this disgusting diatribe at the link below, where the author, Harry Binswanger, exalts Ayn Randism.....

How the hell can there be people on this earth stupid enough to write and believe this crap.. Anyhow, the article is so offensive that my hope is most reading will see how fucked up it is, and create a huge bcklash to this kind of thinking. These people are so bold in their sick, demented beliefs, like it's normal or something. They themselves can't detect the sickness underlying it all. Hopefully, for the rest of human kind, this type of stuff will be seen for what it is. Sick thinking and an false belief that most Americans would buy into this simplistic, foolish, dangerous, disgusting idea of what America should be. For it is in the boldness of their sick thinking that we can put a finger on just how dangereous the people who think like this are to our well being as humans and citizens of the US.

Here is a link:

THIS mindset, BTW explains a GREAT DEAL of modern American christiananity:
God DESERVES worship, because Redemption isn't a gift or an act of Supreme Love, per se, but something "given" to you that you need to make sure gets "paid back".

the level of Projected Guilt in this article would make St. Peter do a double-take. Pure Corportist Bullshit.

It would be funny if it were not the modern incarnation of Satan on Earth lol.

Binswanker: those who subscribe to the Randian thought without understanding the logical conclusion of said thought. In other words, those who dont understand that they would have to pick up their own shit if it weren't for us peasants.
