Comments on: When even CATO doesnt get it. http://michigantaxes.com/wordpress/2009/07/when-even-cato-doesnt-get-it/ Ongoing discussion of how Michigan burdens its taxpayers as well as other Michigan Issues, Satire, and Commentary Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:10:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: jgillman http://michigantaxes.com/wordpress/2009/07/when-even-cato-doesnt-get-it/comment-page-1/#comment-955 jgillman Wed, 15 Jul 2009 00:20:03 +0000 http://michigantaxes.com/wordpress/?p=2570#comment-955 OK.. Politics being what they are, you would have little argument from any quarter. What are CATO figureheads doing entering their two cents here? Frankly as one who has <a href="http://michigan-blogger.com/obama-urges-sarah-palin/" rel="nofollow">linked here about an hour ag</a>o said: <blockquote>Sarah Palin got it right! She gets it! Palin understands the true essence of America! There's nothing special about holding a public office. It doesn't divine you with special powers, you don't magically become indispensable, and most importantly, it doesn't crown you as royalty. It's just a job.</blockquote> What is it that upsets a policy guy so much he has to pile on? Being objective doesn't mean you have to leave all emotion at the door, so I suppose something about her has caressed the "ID" of a couple of them in the wrong way, but does not the objectivist also allow for a little selfishness? That is a point I try to make as well. Appreciate the comments as always. OK.. Politics being what they are, you would have little argument from any quarter.

That's because a pure Objectivist is not a politician--who succeeds by compromising his position. A pure Objectivist is a philosopher, not a compromiser. “In politics the pure objectivist will never win.” That’s because a pure Objectivist is not a politician–who succeeds by compromising his position.
