I'm wondering if you have the capacity, and imagination, to articulate what a nation solely composed of individuals such as yourself would be like.

Your reaction all-to-much reminds me of the negativity that HN leveled against cperciva's "exam": brash opinions, with little reflection.

I don't really respond much on HN, it'd be too tedious, but for a moment consider your comment. It is filled with an inordinate number of assumptions. Assumptions such as the meaning of "success", wealth creation, and implicitly, and glaringly, the admission that to "change what you don't like" you ought to "go be successful yourself".

You are too shallow to see that much of your comfortable world-view is a gift of American society, which was too hard fought for you to simply throw away on ideological whims.

No, I am not shallow. I work my ass off and if I live comfortably, it's because of it. Sounds like you didn't read the article at all to think my comment had little reflection.
