For sure Rand was against ‘looking out for the other fellow’ being forced on everyone’, but really she didnt have much time for voluntary charity either. She might have thought it should be allowed, but she quite clearly also thought it an utterly stupid thing to do.

Her philosophy isn't anti-charity, and she make a point to note that.

She was against the view that held that those in need had a right (welfare system) to your life and goods.

Sadly, many so-called 'Conservatives' think that the welfare state is just fine even though it is based on implicit force.

It is immoral.

Yep. "Now that I've got mine screw you."
