Ayn Rand Was right

In her ground-breaking novel, “Atlas Shrugged” (still available in most bookstores and on Amazon) she described one man who was most instrumental in destroying the economy for his own enrichment. His name was Wesley Mouch. Who is today’s “Wesley Mouch?” There are many candidates, but I nominate Barney Frank, (Democrat representative from Mass.) because he was instrumental in getting the “Citizen’s Reinvestment Act of 1976” passed and rebuffed Bush’s every effort to fix it. The one she predicted in that book, that FORCED lenders to loan money to deadbeats. When a banker refused, and “zeroed out” all his businesses and disappeared, that started the “strike of the men of the mind” that was the plot of the book. (John Stossel)
