I can understand your concern, my friend. There are those who believe that oppressive socialist policies may eventually lead to the destruction of a country as well as individual freedom. John Galt is a famous protagonist character from Ayn Rand's novel, Atlas Shrugged, and is known for his belief in rational self-interest, individualism, and free-market capitalism. His views emphasize that our own efforts untethered by coercion promotes much progress on both an ideological plane as well as for society on the ground encouraging accountability which allows us to build sustainable social structures."""
