Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) on Atlas Shrugged

I recently did an interview with Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) about Atlas Shrugged, his experience running a successful manufacturing company, the goals of his political career, and the future of the American economy and culture. He is a great storyteller, with interesting experiences as a businessman and a ruthlessly smart accountant's eye on the U.S. economy. I hope you enjoy it!

  Thanks Kathy! If you're interested, The Atlas Society has a few other interviews with politicians about Ayn Rand and Atlas -- Allen West and Gary Johnson are both fans. You can see the hyperlinks in the text below the Ron Johnson video.

        I meant you should link each as an individual post. Click on the blue "Submit Post" button in the upper right hand corner to add new posts that directly link to the content. Make sense? That way each video can be commented on individually by Gulch members.

        You came close. The idea is that each of those links should be it's own individual post here in the Gulch. So, instead of placing four links into the "notes" field of the post, place 1 link in the "URL" field and add a short description of the video in the notes section.
        
        Each link should have it's own submission - just like you did for this post that we're commenting on now...

        This will allow Gulch members to comment on each of your video or blog post submissions individually.
        
        Try one more time. Pick one of those videos or blog posts and add it just like you did with the Ron Johnson vid. You should do this every time the Atlas Society posts something new that you think Gulch members might be interested in.

It was an excellent interview. most accountants I know are mum on the topic of regulations, but Senator Johnson was spot on about how regulations have a stranglehold on startups and small business. It's refreshing that he gets it, unlike his fellow Representative from WI.
