We now know corporations are the real "parasites" in an economic crisis.

Did the author even bother to read a summary of Atlas Shrugged? Corporations were happily using government to crush competition all the way through the book. The beggars on the street played a very small part in the novel compared to the ones in the board rooms.

And then having the abrupt, and decidedly unpleasant reality dawn upon the weak entities, that Government then went on to crush them in turn, in order to gain complete control.

It would be a an even better story, if it were not unfolding before us today : /

It's called 'crony capitalism'. Obama supports it in spades. Perry appears to be a big fan too, so the powers that be will likely be covered by both parties this election.
