>>And then you have Ayn Rand and her character Ragnar Danneskjold - one of the most unsung heroes of literature :)
Followed only by John Galt himself, whose monolog capability is without parallel to this day, even by Castro. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
