Somethings seem to never change, yet people look at you like an idiot for trying to speak the truth. Enjoy the poem, I'm sure John Galt did.
I'll tell you what I think about the way
This city treats her soundest men today:
By a coincidence more sad than funny,
It's very like the way we treat our money.
The noble silver drachma that of old we were So proud of, and the recent gold coins that rang true, clean-stamped and worth their weight
Throughout the world, have ceased to circulate.
Instead, the purses of Athenian shoppers
Are full of shoddy silver-plated coppers
Just so, when men are needed by the nation,
The best have been withdrawn from circulation.
From The Frogs by Aristophanes, c. 400 B.C.
Quoted from Ron Paul's End The Fed
