Bring The Ebola Patient To Atlanta They Said...
What could go wrong?
A Texas nurse infected with Ebola was flown from Dallas to Atlanta Wednesday and admitted to Atlanta’s Emory University Hospital, where she will be the fourth patient to be treated there for the virus.
Amber Joy Vinson, 29, was diagnosed earlier Wednesday with the deadly virus after caring for Thomas Eric Duncan, a Liberian man who died from Ebola last week.

Vinson was the second nurse who cared for Duncan at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital to come down with Ebola. Nina Pham tested positive for the disease Sunday and is being treated at the Dallas hospital, where officials said Wednesday she is in good condition.

So one by one, these innovators and producers simply closed up shop, deciding to just “shrug” and abandon what they were providing thanklessly to the looters.
Today many companies are doing the same. They may not be abandoning their businesses altogether, but they are moving them out of the hands of the parasites by moving their tax bases abroad.
In Ayn Rand’s book, the Economic Planning Bureau dealt with this by legislating that no businesses could leave: “[a]ll the manufacturing establishments of the country, of any size and nature, were forbidden to move from their present locations, except when granted a special permission to do so.”
In real life today, we have a string of policies being proposed to similarly discourage companies from leaving, or failing that, to try to claw as much money as possible from them first.
First, take the H.R. 5278: No Federal Contracts for Corporate Deserters Act, which bars federal contracts for American companies that have gone overseas for tax purposes.
Then take the H.R. 5549: Pay What You Owe Before You Go Act, which seeks the seizure of unrepatriated corporate revenue.
Even the language used by these bill’s supporters is eerily similar to ...
