Atlas Shrugged, eyed nearest exit

Praise Bieber, this is delicious.

Ayn Rand took government assistance while decrying others who did the same

An interview with Evva Pryror, a social worker and consultant to Miss Rand’s law firm of Ernst, Cane, Gitlin and Winick verified that on Miss Rand’s behalf she secured Rand’s Social Security and Medicare payments which Ayn received under the name of Ann O’Connor (husband Frank O’Connor).

As Pryor said, “Doctors cost a lot more money than books earn and she could be totally wiped out” without the aid of these two government programs. Ayn took the bail out even though Ayn “despised government interference and felt that people should and could live independently… She didn’t feel that an individual should take help.”

2. All Randian assholes are the same
for a time we had this prick with a pile of Ayn Rand shit plastered all over his car. Add on to that the obvious anti-Obama slag that he needed to stick on there to keep his bumper attached.

Even with all of that he didn't notice the disconnect when I pointed out that his free Government provided handicapped sticker didn't fit with the idiotic shit all over the car. He didn't turn down the really sweet parking spot right by the door at work either.


Other than his obesity I never did notice anything that would have prevented him from walking up from the lot with the rest of us. I know some disabilities are a lot more hidden than others but with all the Where's John Galt shit, I'm not giving this asshole any benefit of the doubt, I'm betting he was nothing more than just one more "lazy parasite on the producers in society"- to coin one of the sayings from their Goddess.

3. Hey at least she deliberated before she took the handouts.
A TRUE collectivist scumbag would just take a handout without thinking about it long and hard first.

4. When Randroids talk about not taking handouts
they mean other people should not take handouts. Randroids should grab all they can buy, beg, borrow or steal. It's like when rethuglicans talk about 'being responsible'. They mean other people, not themselves.

And Rand was not an atheist. She worshipped THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR: MAKER OF HEAVEN AND EARTH!just like her Randroids.
