AYN RAND; THEY DESERVE WHAT WE PAY FOR


The best five minutes ever in the current political campaign came about this morning (Sunday, Aug, 18) on Chris Hayes’s program UP. It was an introductory monologue. Among other things, many other things, I now understand something that had bothered me for a long time. I did not understand how an Ayn Rand follower, like Paul Ryan, could in good conscience use fire and police protection, drive on our highways, accept government scholarships or Obama stimulus money, or anything else the government does for them and then complain about how bad the government is.  How can they take full advantage of all of theses thing they complain about and still not want to pay taxes. Like most thing that confuse me, the answer is simple. They feel that what ever they cannot afford they deserve from a society that should be grateful to them because without them there would be no society. In other words, these things are entitlements for them not us. They are willing to cut or otherwise destroy our entitlements to get theirs. We, the man on the street as long as it is not Wall Street, should be happy to pay for all of these things for them—not for our benefit but for theirs. That was Ayn Rand’s message; there are people who count and deserve everything and those who do not count and deserve nothing.
