Libertarian Hero - Jay Gould

Michele Bachmann
Eris is the true fly in the ointment. This TNO, from the far-flung Kuiper Belt beyond Pluto, is named for the Greek goddess of strife and discord, and Bachmann fairly radiates these qualities acting as human that magnetizes these energies in others.

Having natal Eris in exact square to the USA’s own Eris @08 Capricorn further cements her position as America’s Goad-in-Chief, urging others to exert themselves in the causes she supports, whatever the consequences to the public good will.

This schemer's name was Jay Gould. Railroad stock speculator and ally of corrupt politicians like William Marcy "Boss" Tweed of New York, by the late 1860s Gould had become infamous for his attempt to manipulate the nation's gold supply, which backfired in the stunning "Black Friday" financial panic of 1869.

A decade later, with his interest in scores of railroads, Gould saw that "the telegraph and the railroad systems go hand in hand," as he put it. But the Board of Western Union refused to have anything to do with him. And so Gould, armed with his own newspaper, The New York World, set out to conquer the telegraph service via financial hijinks and public pressure. First he organized a bear raid on the company, lowering the value of its stock. Then he constructed several smaller telegraph firms and denounced Western Union as an unscrupulous monopoly.
