uhh, the looters in the article are bankers and CEO's. The looters in Atlas Shrugged are government and people on welfare. Very different definitions.

  "the looters in the article are bankers and CEO's" "ooters in Atlas Shrugged are government and people on welfare" But sir (or madam!), I believe you repeat yourself here. In all seriousness, I think that Rand would've been pretty annoyed at what's come to pass--the capitalist fetishism espoused in works such as Atlas Shrugged does not take kindly to those that do not actually generate capital and wealth. Also, you are strictly incorrect about the looters in Atlas Shrugged: one of the largest groups of looters (embodied in James Taggart and his cohorts) in the novel are the businessmen who use lobbyists to further their companies and stifle competition. This should, incidentally, seem somewhat familiar to anyone watching the news for the past decade.

    The looters in America right now fetishize Rand.
