Well, Don..after reading your post, it would seem that the bankers are more of a problem than Ayn Rand...As stipulated by the Banking Act of 1935, the President appoints the seven members of the Board of Governors; they must then be confirmed by the Senate and serve for 14 years, and those guys are voted upon....one to be confirmed

So who is serving who? The bankers PRIMARY concern is their banks..Oh yeah, I didn't want it to slip by that the Federal Reserve is NOT a federal entity....it is a consortium, made up from private bankers ...and don't you think that the federal government has to cater to the Fed's policies, who, after all, control the money supply???..and what do they do??... they 'print'(or digitize) more fiat money, while an out of control spending spree has bankrupt the country...and, of course, the Fed CHARGES interest for their 'services' of printing all that fiat (read: worthless, unsecured) money.
So who's hustling who?...and then you want to blame Ayn Rand's novels????.....She's been dead and gone for a long time.

Oh well...
