To me, Ralph Nader is a John Galt. Have you seen the documentary "Unreasonable Man"?
Ayn Rand asks in her novel "Atlas Shrugged", "Who is John Galt". The charactor in her book was a man that was a winner and knew he was a winner. Nader grasped the concept that the Bill of Rights protects us from the US Constitution (anyone can have a constitution, but rights were a radical new world concept 300 years ago, inspired by plato's Republic and Socrates Democracy). Humans have evolved in the past 300 years.. and corporations were obtaining the unalienable rights, while we humans, were being put under corporate care, regulated or not, by the government, which both, are many times "in bed together"...so Nader thought.. Consumer rights is what is needed. The governments job is to protect your right to protect yourself. You have the right to reject something.
Ayn Rand says the individual makes all the difference. She saw government and corporations are corrupt organizations that profitted off mans misery, so they had no reason to end misery they promised to end... Nader doesn't profit off misery. He profits off providing opportunity, which is what John Galt tried to do with the engine he created that was bought by a car comapny and got shelved, not produced.
No one has sued the federal government more than Ralph Nader. Ayn Rand, RIP, has got to respect that.
