The problem with Rand is she is simple minded but that is how one sells popular books and political program. Those problem comes with those who continue to take Rand and run with it and in so doing contribute to the dumbing down of our society. They aren't even consistent. Believe it or not even liberals get the concept of individualism and sane government should of course look for the balance that maximizes both social needs and individual rights. If such an open minded approach were possible I suppose we would have a little bipartisanship but most of her "devotees" aren't open minded and certainly not captains of industries but parasites on and useful fools for a right wing corporate political class. Oh lookie, she supported abortion rights. Isn't that consistent with letting the individual do something instead listening to the same people who won't allow it complaining that you "have a baby you can't afford"?

Do you even know what "the dream" is?
