"Remembering the Real Ayn Rand "

"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."

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.
