For one thing, Galt never owned a business. He was an engineer at 20th Century Motors who got pissed off when the original owners turned it into an employee-owned business. What he did whine and quit his job, and then he went after the other company owners -- not CEOs of publically held corporations but owners of businesses -- and talked them into walking away. I don't see any of these real life bozos packing up a single suitcase and walking out.

People need to actually fucking read the damn book and understand what Rand actually wrote before they go pretending they know what they're talking about.
