Another Example of 'Atlas Shrugged'

I've been listening to an abridged audio book version of 'Atlas Shrugged' after seeing more than one mention of how we are or are about to be living the book. I have not finished the book, but so far it is a good story and I can see many parallels to how some people think today. I still don't think we're quite at the point of 'Atlas Shrugged', but some parts of northern Italy have taken a step closer by banning any new ethnic food restaurants. And the winner of the "sounds most like a character out of 'Atlas Shrugged' award? Davide Boni who said that "kebab shop owners were prepared to work long hours, which was unfair competition." Right, because we shouldn't reward people for their hard work.
