Incidentally, I've never read a single piece of Rand's work. That was not intentional. It just happened.
Balance out your reading and you will gain insight...
Insight into what? I read several dozen reader reviews of Nickle and Dimed in America on Amazon. I can't say I was impressed. Her book sounds like a "blame free-enterprise for the plight of the poor" propaganda piece. Is my assessment correct? Does the author discuss any factors which contribute to poverty? One reader pointed out that the author draws comparisons between our system and those of countries in Europe which she considers progressive. Does she mean countries like France which has double-digit unemployment? Maybe she means Britian which has something like a 65% rate of taxation and rations health care.
Yes. Cheapskate wages paid by greedy employers. I have to go now and return a phone call, but I will try to pull you up some stuff from another book and post it to you. parsy.
