Many of you that have read Atlas Shrugged will remember Orren Boyle, president of Orren Boyle's Associated Steel. He was a less than competant business owner, one that used the government to award his company special "breaks". He used the government to appropriate intellectual property from other companies, to put special penalties and taxes on his competators and to reward him with special contracts, grants and subsidies. He was a businessman that traded in "pull" and government favors, rather than in products or services for fair value.
My question to you, who in today's business world best portrays Orren Boyle? My vote goes to Jeffery Immelt, the current head of GE, and an economic advisor to the Obama administration.
Are there better candidates? The current CEO of GM perhaps? AIG or another bank that cashed in on TARP?
