Rush Limbaugh |
CALLER: Well, Rush, I gotta tell you what an honor it is to talk to you today.
RUSH: Thank you. I appreciate that, sir.
CALLER: I have been a student of the Limbaugh Institute for just about ten years, and I gotta tell you, I have a question for you today that I hope will demonstrate that I have indeed been paying attention. And the question is, what would our society look like if the 99%-ers, mostly, if the 1%-ers just quit? Just decided that they had enough and they cashed in their chips, pulls their shutters, shingled their shops --
RUSH: Would you like to read a book about this?
CALLER: Well, sure.
RUSH: There's a book called Atlas Shrugged. It's a long book. Have you heard of it?
CALLER: Yes.
RUSH: It's by Ayn Rand, and it's about this very thing. It's about the producers throwing up their hands in frustration and just saying, "To heck with it. I'm not doing this anymore. I am not gonna pay these exorbitant tax rates. I'm not gonna be one of the few in this country productive and everybody feeds off me," and they just quit. It is a very, very long book. A movie was made of it within the past year, which, by the way, I'm sure you could rent that DVD somewhere.
