It is most obvious you have spent entirely too much time reading "Atlas Shrugged".

I expected you to respond "I've read your post and I'm not at all like that." Instead you respond "There's nothing wrong with being like that."

The very fact that you consider people like myself, people who only want to do our jobs and remain as invisible as possible as "dangerous statists" who want to plunder your goods, tells me that you have a totally unrealistic appraisal of both my capabilities and my motivations.
Perhaps you have to feel that way about those who disagree with you so that you can continue to classify them as potential threats.

Personally, I don't care how you conduct your affairs, but the thought that an entire ideology and social class is convinced that I am a threat to their way of life, I can't help but find a bit threatening myself.

You see, I feel the people I work for and who I purchase everything I need from, have a much more profound effect on my day to day existence than any government possibly could. Consequently, I am much more suspicious of them than I am of the state.
