Who IS John Galt?

[Jstpssng]

Enquirer TBN minds want to know! (Well, at least some of them, with too much free time & access to a search engine.)



Is he a character from the novel "Atlas Shrugged"... or is he the late Scottish writer?

Only 1 TBN member knows for sure... & this question is his signature.

I think he is the founder of Galt airport in Woodstock Ill.???

Man, the premise of this post is likely to cause this to end up locked down

"Is he a character from the novel "Atlas Shrugged"... "

That would be correct.
I haven't thought about that book for a long time! Perhaps Ayn Rand was a bit ahead of her time..... That reminds me, estimated tax payments are due in 2 weeks!

Isn't this an expression, based on "Atlas Shrugged", meaning dropping out of society to avoid paying taxes and supporting the establishment?

Just as the original, any present day John Galt is likely fictional.

I hope this thread was taken in the fun it was intended. The question mimics a TBN member's signature... My curiousity got the best of me.

John Galt is a rhetorical question, or perhaps more aptly, a rhetorical answer.

It is an answer, in the form of a rhetorical, to a question that ones asks, although not wishing to know the answer.

Why does the sun rise, the moon shine in the night, or why is the sky blue; who is John Galt?
