ignore infrastructure because...GOVERNMENT creates infrastructure, this defeating the Randian argument! Think about that next time you see an online comment or hear someone say "America is the greatest nation because you have freedom to build a business and succeed." NO country has ever prospered off a libertarian utopia govt favored by the tea party. I challenge libertarians to move to Somalia or better yet to Peter Thiel's libertarian islands and try creating a business.
