The highest moral obligation one human being has to another is to never through force or fraud deprive them of the fruits of their labors or their life.

That sounds like altruism with a mask on. That's not consistent with her "moral purpose," unless A = nonA.

"Achievement of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life, and that happiness, not pain or mindless self-indulgence, is the proof of your moral integrity, since it is the proof and the result of your loyalty to the achievement of your values."--Ayn Rand

Translation: Do what you want, don't get caught.

Really? Then you have a serious comprehension problem. Not taking peoples stuff from them forcefully or fraudulently is 'altruism'? Whatever dictionary you own you should return where you got it and demand your money back.

not pain or mindless self-indulgence,

You're not real....um....smart, are you.
