Capitalism, as practiced today, has been polluted - but still far better than Socialism.

Have you read Rand’s “Capitalism: the Unknown Ideal”?

We need to win this election and then we need to overhaul our Capitalist tenets

I have read all of Ayn’s works. Even have a signed copy of the New Intellectual. She had some good points and was brilliant.BUT, she lacked some common sense. Humans exist in a community and you eschew that at your own peril.

Like a lot of geniuses, she was too darn dogmatic and missed things going on right in front of her.

She should have gone to law school and got out int he real world for a while. Would have rounded her out.

parsy, who named his first kid after Ayn.
