WI's Senator Dumbass once again earns the epithet...

[Archae]

Sen. Ron Johnson said there were “absolutely” parallels between the novel “Atlas Shrugged” and America today in an interview published Monday with a group that promotes the work of libertarian philosopher Ayn Rand, the book’s author.

“Absolutely,” the Wisconsin Republican said when asked by an interviewer from the Atlas Society if “Atlas Shrugged” resembled modern-day America.

In the 1957 novel, society’s most productive and wealthy citizens go on strike to protest increased government taxes and regulation. Millions of copies have sold since the book’s release, and tens of thousands of copies are still sold each year.

2. Oh yeah, I agree...definitely parallels...

Crappy literature still gets published today just like it did in 1957.

3. Anybody who hears pro-Rand crap from a legislator

Should ask said legislator "If you believe in Rand so much, why are you leeching off the taxpayer? Why aren't you in private industry?"

4. Randians are amusing

Both Paul Ryan and Sen. Johnson are nut cases and are amusing. Ryan realized that he could be elected president if people knew that he was Randian nut case. Johnson does not care is people think that he is a nut case
