  • Who is John Galt?

    As the name implies, this is inspired by the character of John Galt, the "hero" of Ayn Rand's Objectivist doorstopper, Atlas Shrugged, who destroys civilization to avoid paying taxes. They apparently think this is a good idea, and hope to follow in his footsteps.

    In the novel, John Galt declared his opposition to collectivism by starting a, heh, collective called Galt's Gulch. He expressed his opposition to organized labor by organizing (what else?) a strike.
