3. I applaud your efforts, but you are arguing with a Randian
as in Ayn. Utopian societal model that does not take into account GREED.

Even Randian advocate Alan Greenspan finally admitted that his life-long held 'free market' views were 'flawed' and 'wrong'. Happy to look up the video of him admitting this in a Congressional inquiry if you haven't seen it and/or need to reference it.

I am just sorry that she never lived long enough to see her legacy proven a fallacy.

Maybe, just maybe, the Randian 'Libertarians' will get their broken-clock-is-right-twice-a-day heads out of their collective asses and wake up to reality.
