'Atlas Shrugged' As A Reality Show

This makes perfect sense to me. It's illegal for employers to refuse to hire people it's illegal to employ? Of course! Ayn Rand got there first:
Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible to live without breaking laws.
