"Atlas Shrugged" in "Ho-Ho Ville"

Ayn Rand’s outstanding novel, “Atlas Shrugged,” is the story about what would happen if key entrepreneurs and other producers in a country finally realized how their own government was making it impossible for them to KEEP what they have EARNED and got tired of it, going on strike. This eventually caused their society to collapse. I think we are seeing the beginnings of an “Atlas Shrugged” strike in the Hostess shutdown, the company refusing to bow to the union’s demands that would have bankrupted the company anyway. My brother-in-law works for Allison’s Transmission in Indianapolis and is sweating a similar shutdown where he works as HIS union is on strike. He is among those who will be RUINED if that strike lasts more than a few days. Look for more of these strikes as unions all over take advantage of the fact that companies have more possible employees than they can hire due to the recession Obama (and his cronies) claim is now over.
