I thought it would be interesting to transpose real people to the characters in Atlas Shrugged. I know some of you may disagree with my judgment but I would like to invite one and all to provide their candidates to fill the shoes of each of the main characters in the book:
1)Dagny Taggart: Sarah Palin
2)Hugh Akston: William F Buckley Jr.
3)Ragnar Danneskjold: Ronald Reagan (lowered the top tax rate from 70% to 28%)
4)Hank Rearden: Thomas Edison
5)Ellis Wyatt: T Boone Pickens
6)Francisco d’Anconia: Rush Limbaugh (driving people crazy)
7)James Taggart: Harry Reid
8)Dr.Robert Stadler: Alan Greenspan
9)Dr. Floyd Ferris: Al Gore
10)Richard Halley: George Gershwin
11)Lillian Rearden: Nancy Pelosi
12)Eddie Williers: Joe the Plumber
13)Wesley Mouch: Barack Obama
14)John Galt: TBD
good list
Please add
Ellsworth Toohey=Henry Waxman
This picture of Waxman always brings Toohey to mind...
