Ohka:
A nation is in trouble when all the power is controlled by people who produce nothing instead of by those that do. Ayn Rand said something like that in Atlas Shrugged.

We all know Godwin's law, but just in case here's the definition from wikipedia:

As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1."
The term Godwin's law can also refer to the tradition that whoever makes such a comparison is said to "lose" the debate.

I'm going to add a corralary, call it Todji's Corallary :

The longer any discussion grows, if the topic is related to economics, the probability of someone quoting Ayn Rand approaches 1. That person can be considered a moron and to have lost the debate.
