FATS TALKS WITH PAWLENTY

I read the transcript and Pawlenty seems like a low-key wingnut.   The only part I was struck by was this fable from Fats:
In fact, let me tell you a story. I went to a wedding in Ft. Lauderdale over the weekend and I had a guy come up to me -- actually three or four, but this one particular guy was the most strident. He came up to me. He's 63 years old, and he says he's quitting. He's a very successful entrepreneur and he's quitting. He's tired of the regulations, he's tired of the oversight, he's tired of the obstacles, he's tired of the taxes. He's simply tired of all he has to go through to remain successful, and he said something to me. He said, "You have to keep fighting," and this embarrasses me, by the way, but I want to tell you what he said.
Yup, another bit of John Galt (Ayn Rand) mythology.
