brianleepainter Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 "Rand was not a conservative or a liberal: She was an individualist. "Atlas Shrugged" is, at its heart, a plea for the most fundamental American ideal—the inalienable rights of the individual. On tax day, with our tax dollars going to big government and subsidies for big business, let's remember it's the celebration of individualism that has kept "Atlas Shrugged" among the best-selling novels of all time."

ObjectivistMusic Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Nice to see SOMEONE presenting her views honestly for a change. I agree. Loved this point being highlighted: "The reality is that in Rand's novel, as in life, self-described capitalists can be the worst enemies of capitalism." So tired of instances of big business exploiting/relying upon government muscle used as the justification for calling capitalism evil.
