But it's just one person's point of view on those things. You have to
understand where Ayn Rand came from to know why she thought the things
she did. She was colored by her early exposure to a ruthless,
totalitarian government that made her anti government for the rest of
her life. It made her believe that individualism was far superior to ANY
kind of collective action. But that's not what the experience is for
people who have lived in the U.S. for a long time. We have an example of
the best government in the world. It has served our people well. Until
the last republican administration this country was the envy of the
world and we have always been a country that does big things by
collective action.

Fun fact:

Nope - urban legend.

Ayn Rand depended on Social Security

No.
