I love Ayn Rand. I worshiped her work and her novels, her characters, her mind and her world. I am a true capitalist at heart, have no forgiveness for the wasteful lots in society and wish the worst on any who like to live by “share the wealth”! I started from nothing and am the envy of all who are less motivated, less disciplined, and exert themselves far less than their true potential, and I love it. Envy me all you want. I shall treat myself well, spend my wealth as I wish, travel all I want, pamper myself, live carefree, and continue to apply my brain. I am not going to feel sorry for the poverty-stricken pathetic losers of the world, who still live on my hard-earned income and taxes, and I shall not anymore donate to any other causes, because guess what – I already donate far more than I would like and the return in gratitude comes instead in the words of “Why can’t you pay more – to help us in our misery and be a little less happy than you are”!
Thank you for your post, Dr. Helen.
