If you haven't read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, you are missing out on one of the most important books of the 20th Century. And you can buy it from this site for cheap...http://www.aynrandbookstore2.com/

I don't think there is a lower price anywhere for it.

Another great book by Ayn Rand is Why Businessmen Need Philosophy.

If you are a Business Owner and you haven't read these 2 books, you probably don't understand why you feel so bad when you make money. You shouldn't. Not only should you be proud to make money, but you should understand why. This 2nd book will tell you, and help you explain how you feel.

Business Owners are railed against in our society. Everyone thinks that Business Owners who are making profits are evil, and they are not. Without us, our nation probably wouldn't exist, and certainly cannot prosper. But no one stands up for us, and we must begin to stand up for ourselves.

Why are you in business? To make money. You want to please your customers, you say? Why? So that you can make money. You want your business to have a good reputation? Why? To make money. You want to be successful. And what does that mean? To make money.

Is it selfish? Yes. Wonderfully, happily selfish.

I pay my employees as much money as I can. Why? So they will stay with me, be loyal to me, and do a good job, so that I can MAKE MONEY.

I am an honest businessperson. Why? Because that honesty relates to my business relationship with my customers, and they buy more from me. And I make money.

I don't try to cheat my customers. Why? So they will return for my services and I will MAKE MONEY.

Any employee who works for me wants to make money. They don't want to work for the "betterment of their fellow man," heck no. They don't want to work for nothing, they want to EARN MONEY. If my store does not do well, then I will not make money, and they cannot earn money. They want to earn money and be successful for themselves and their families, and when they are successful, so am I. I make money.

Isn't this why our founding father's created this country?

Why would I allow a burglar to enter my home and steal my things? I wouldn't, of course. So why should I sit back while my government steals my hard-earned money?

Hmmmmmm..........
