Libertarianism isn't very realistic anyways.

I read something pretty interesting recently that pretty much convinces me that the folks at the top get there by luck rather than merit. Obviously I'm sure that they themselves would disagree but I'm talking about them, not to them.

The US got to the position it is in the 20th century by luck, we discovered a new world with wealth to exploit, took the country from the indigenous, then had a stack of decades with slavery, then took that momentum into the world wars, coming out on top into the boom years when our competitors were saddled with rebuilding ruins.

If we're in decline then its our own undoing, heck we pretty much inherited the best deal in the world and pissed it away.

The people who like Ayn Rand don't like history.
