John Stossel on Fox Business Channel. Jan 7, 2010. Atlas Shrugged Special.
John Allison of BB&T Bank, analysts from various think tanks and Nick Gillespie of Reason Magazine are among the numerous guests who discuss their take on the book and why they believe so many are reading it and drawing parallels to the overtaxing, over-regulating, suffocating government policies being passed today which Rand prophetically wrote about in Atlas Shrugged, her Magnum Opus novel that came out in 1957.

BB&T accepted 3.1 billion dollars from the TARP bailout. John Allison is a parasite living off the government tit.

BB&T was FORCED--along with every other mega bank--to take TARP.

for you, it won't. But chances are they will become less radical which generally means their retarded ideas won't reach international news.

How is letting Republicans taker over going to shut rednecks up?

[Xanous]

Some of the banks were forced to take a bailout?  That's pretty shocking.

[joe80dmanizanerd]

As an European not giving a shit about American politics, I can't wait until a Republican wins the elections again- simply because it will to some extent shut redneck dipshits like you up so we won't have to hear this ignorance on OUR news anymore. Rightwing American thought process; "I don't want to pay taxes, I don't want gov healthcare, I want guns" hurr durr.

For the first time, I appreciate this novel. Doesn't matter if you agree with the book's philosophy or not, it tells you how things will happen at end of days. Like it or not, this is it. It's happening. They r taking guns away; crashing the housing and stock markets every few years (frequency increasing) .. etc.

It's like Harry Potter, LOTR, Twilight for adults who got bills to pay.

If you "wanted" to, instead of being morally obliged to as a fellow human being. Typical.

[Leon612]

Is that Rob Zombie sitting in the front?

[TheBarnebus]

Fucking Jews and rich people think that without them, Atlas will shrug. Fuck off you leeches

[mrrobotica]

There is no plan to destroy the economy and dollar. That will be the result, but the people behind TARP and the people behind those people (voters!) believed that it would do good. There is no conspiracy. The driving force in this world isn't small groups of men, it is the ideas and philosophy of the masses.
