Well, good thing for that old bag Ayn she did, because at the end of her miserable, selfish life, after her husband dumped her and most of her fans forgot her, she had to rely on Medicare and Social Security to live.
And then there are people who think that selfishness is a virtue. Like you and Ayn.
Ayn Rand - lived under the epitome of communism in the U.S.S.R. from 1905 to 1926 (21 years for those who struggle with math - like JoeB.). Saw the poverty, the misery, and the oppression first-hand. Experienced life without the motivation of reward. Understands better than any one born in America the dangers of giving government power and asking for table scraps in return. Saw millions of her fellow countrymen murdered when the state could no longer provide food, healthcare, etc. for them.
JoeB. - born into the epitome of freedom in the U.S.A. Spent his entire life whining that life was not handed to him on a silver platter. Acts like a spoiled child complaining that freedom is not enough and that every want & need should be provided by government.
Now I ask any of you who can show an ounce of unbiased ,rational thought: who is exponentially more qualified to speak about what works and what does not with regards to have government in charge?
