It's time to stop letting the trolls fling there screwy ideas and ignorance around like monkey poo. It's time to get our freedom back.
Money quote:
"The role that voters and their representatives have assigned government over the past seven or eight decades is the role, ultimately, of smothering aspiration and achievement. We? Achieve? That’s for “the 1 percent”! They’ll do all the heavy lifting — until there’s no more 1 percent left to lift, or even a .000000001 percent, aspiration and invention having been effectively outlawed by the tax code, the EPA, Dodd-Frank, and heaven knows what else."

The problem is that when you punish the innovative and creative, when you wrap creativity and entrepreneurship in millions of petty rules and taxes, making it almost impossible to make it you end up destroying the very things that make life prosperous.
