Those of us who have read Atlas Shrugged lately know that the goverment "looters" have a worthy opponent in the intelligent capitalists of the day. John Galt's "strikers" stop accepting the burdens imposed on them and stood up for what they believed is right.
Where is our John Galt? Who in industry and business will stand up to goverment and call a spade a spade? CEOs fired. Executives hiding from mobs in their houses. TARP wives pretending not to have money. Now the latest is private investment firms speared by the President in prime time.
The leadership of the GOP remains devoid of a clear message or dynamic leader. I am convinced that leader must come out of business, not Washington or state goverment. We need to leave the lobbyists and gamesmanship out of politics. Get back to the honorable debate of ideas and actually reading bills. We have to tell the American people that they have the power to restart the economy. Not the goverment. It is their "confidence" and ingenuity that will grow tax revenues. Not an energy tax scheme.
The problem is that I see no John Galt. Not in business circles. Not in Washington circles.. Not in the UN and not in politics anywhere.
Mr. Galt...would you please stand up?
