    Why 'Atlas Shrugged' at The Standard & Poor's Downgrade and Kept It Movin'

    There's a great quote from Atlas Shrugged that comes to mind which sums this all up: "[W]hen you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing; when you see that money is flowing to those who deal not in goods, but in favors; when you see that men get rich more easily by graft than by work, and your laws no longer protect you against them, but protect them against you. . . you may know that your society is doomed."
