Was out this weekend and saw a statue of Atlas. Always makes me think of Ayn Rand's book
Atlas Shrugged. Here is how John Galt sees Atlas: (btw, Atlas = taxpayer, taxpayer = YOU!)
"If you saw Atlas, the giant who holds the world on his shoulders, if you saw that he stood, blood running down his chest, his knees buckling, his arms trembling but still trying to hold the world aloft with the last of his strength, and the greater the effort the heavier the world bore down upon his shoulders -- what would you tell him to do? I don't know. What could he do? What would you tell him? To shrug."
