The man who speaks to you of sacrifice, speaks of slaves and masters. And intends to be the master

Here are three quotes left in the comments section of that post that say it all:

"I bring reason to your ears, and, in language as plain as ABC, hold up truth to your eyes." —Thomas Paine December 23, 1776

"It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice." —President-Elect Barack Obama, November 4, 2008

"It stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there's someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice, speaks of slaves and masters. And intends to be the master." —Ayn Rand, The Soul of a Collectivist, For the New Intellectual, 73
