Christopher Cox and the SEC

I thought it apropos to pull this quote from the NYT in 2005, at the time that Republican Representative Christopher Cox was selected by President Bush to the SEC:

"Mr. Cox - a devoted student of Ayn Rand, the high priestess of unfettered capitalism - has a long record in the House of promoting the agenda of business interests that are a cornerstone of the Republican Party's political and financial support."

I tire of the absolutists who strive for Ayn Rand's idealism, such as Alan Greenspan, and of course Christopher Cox, but I have to remind people, that in fact Libertarians are strong supporters of Ayn Rand's unregulated capitalism. Be wary of economic Libertarians who worship the House of Ayn Rand.
