Are you calling her out because she was forced to support the system through taxation and did so or because she accepted the benefits from the system that she paid into when it was her turn to recieve them?

It seems like if you're forced to play the game, you should be allowed to win.

It's a safe bet that TMN has not read any of Rand's major works.

Until she does, posting hack pieces against her just consistent with her ignorant bot style.

Living off of and needing are two different things. Also, regulations and mandates have a way of forcing our need.


However, fishsticks do not taste like snowflakes.

I read half the Fountainhead thinking it would get better at some point. What a waste.

No.

A true die hard would have refused the checks.

Or at least gave them to charity.

So let me get this straight: If I object to a war but I'm forced to pay for it I am a hypocrite for living under the blanket of security it provides?

Interesting.

Rand herself said "there is no justification ever for choosing for any part of what you know to be evil."

She liked to talk the talk, but in the end didn't walk the walk. She advocated a black and white world, not one with shades of grey. By her own standards, she was a walking hypocrite.

She wrote a Novel based on her growing up Post Communist Revolution, pre WWII called "We The Living". You should read it when you grow up.

What....A "die hard" isn't entitled to remuneration from those who have stolen from them?

Oh yeah...I forgot that Fabians/progressives get to tell everyone else what they need to do to be "pure", while they just make up the rules for themselves as they go along.

Her short stories and nonfiction compilations are much more readable than any of her dreary novels.

Which war and what blanket of security?

The last time our security was seriously threatened was by camps in Afghanistan. They were cleaned out in three weeks or so.

She was a Human Being, like the rest of us. Stop kicking the Messenger. An Athist that believed in Unalienable Right, Conscience, and the Establishment of Justice. OMG, she collected SS like Everybody else, hold the Presses!!!!! She's dead and gone.

 

[Mad Scientist]

I see the current dem talking point is to smear Ayn Rand.

Listen, the whole point of the book is that the producers of society will just stop producing if government saddles business with onerous taxes and regulation.

Cashing a social security check doesn't negate that.
