John Galt is a fictional character. He lives in an oversimplified world where the virtue of selfishness outweighs the rest of humanity's concerns.
You (and anyone you know who you might move to Colorado or whatever) don't have the capacity to stop the motor of the world. And if you live in the United States today, you are among the least tethered, in economic terms, of any person who has ever lived.
The sad reality is that we're all in this together. It's part of the social contract. Government pays for roads and public schools and national defense. If you've never taken advantage of these services and civilization has been built on your back, clearly you've been wronged. Otherwise, grow up. The world is bigger than you.
I suggest you find something you like to do and learn to contribute. And stop quoting Ayn Rand, it makes you sound like an idiot.
