The book I think highlights a simple statement in our country’s founding documents that is wrong. The founding document is wrong. “We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal”…… that just isn’t true. I agree there is not a royalty as such. God LOVES everyone equally….. but we are not all created equal. Not by any stretch. Atlas Shrugged reminds me of that truth.

The Declaration of Independence assumed people knew the principles behind the statement, which was that some men are not born to rule over others, simply by their birth status.

It was calling for equality under the law, as we are equal at birth in God's eyes.

The founders were well aware of the inequality that exists in every society, and cannot be eliminated.

Equality is regarding ‘Rights.’ Certainly Howard Roark would not be considered as ‘equaled’ by even his peers who actually graduated from his Class. He far outclassed him in virtually every fashion, but that was an intrinsic aspect of his personality.

He was born different from others. That did not mean that he got to vote more or live longer. He was simply more intelligent and more driven.

Equal in rights. Equally human. Obviously people have radical differences in their talents and abilities.
