  1. The Founding Fathers tried unanimity in all affairs before the founding of the current Constitution and it never worked to begin with and it never will.
  2. Capitalism cannot survive in any form without the art of compromise between men because the exchange of anything valuable does not exist without compromise between men and yet your philosophy might be incapable of compromising at any level. It is too bad that Ayn Rand is not alive today because we cannot ask her anymore.
  3. Intellectual property, for instance, has fair use and that is all that I am arguing for in terms of infrastructure of public use like roadways, for instance. Even if you disagree with me, that still makes me no worse than the average American politically anyway.
  4. Not in the sense in which it would turn into de facto feudalism if property rights were interpreted in a protectionistic manner.
  5. In this sense, I am pro-capitalistic and minarchistic: I have decided that I believe in the maximization of en masse individual liberty and a capitalistic economy with property rights for all balanced with social contracts and easements only as necessary in order to protect life, liberty, property, and natural resources. Thank you and have a good day. J
  6. It turns out that I embrace the open Objectivism of The Atlas Society.
  7. To be honest, wealth is a product of productive endeavor, but is not the productive endeavor itself of course.
  8. Reform the Federal Reserve Petition http://wh.gov/iBMne Reform the Federal Reserve to utilize separate bank accounts, at least one per federal government agency, in order to help with fiscally managing government spending. Let the States set up their own state banks, in which they can do the same, for the purposes of state government spending. Make each privatized bank's fractional reserve entry a bank account unto itself. Use the same fractional reserve banking standards for the purposes of making government loans. And run all bank transactions through ACH. Back up all currency with commodities from the commodities market. Reform the Federal Reserve now!
  9. I just realized by reading http://objectivistanswers.com/questions/1483/what-is-your-view-of-the-peace-corps that what I just spoke of is a matter that is subject to interpretation, but I would prefer a more liberal outlook on that, but not a Left outlook of course, and say that Objectivism and the American Red Cross are perfectly compatible by virtue of the American Red Cross being an objective standard that is based on objective need and funded mostly by donations and not tax dollars. Thank you and have a good day.
  10. I am new to Objectivism and I have some questions about it. Would Ayn Rand have in any way objected to the American Red Cross despite it being a government charter organization? What I am asking is if that would count outside the norms of laissez-faire capitalism or not?
