[Editor's Note: I've read a lot of posts about the Occupy movement (and about the Tea Party movement, for that matter) and this is one of the most interesting. Is Ayn Rand's Objectivism alive and well in the United States? What do you think? - Denise]
In the seat of the Financial District in Chicago, at the T-intersection where LaSalle Street jams up against Jackson Street, a protest is growing. Hemmed in by the Chicago Board of Trade, the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, and the Bank of America building, the Financial District has become a Windy City location marker for the upper one percent. And, now, some of the 99% have taken up occupancy among them. Yesterday, I spent a few hours lingering at the Occupy Chicago site, taking pictures and talking to protesters. While I was there, Reverend Jesse Jackson, Sr. made an appearance. So did Ayn Rand.
