Furthermore, private insurance, in true Capitalistic spirit, skims a big percentage right off the top, dedicated not to the provision of healthcare but for the administration of the insurance itself and the profits of the owners of the insurance company. What rational economic actor would give a share of their hard earned dollars to mooching insurance company investors and owners? Wait, did I get the definition of moochers wrong? This is all so confusing...

A true Randian would never be so careless as to get sick or injured, moreover if they did require medical attention they'd simply pay for it self-sufficiently.

But if anyone ever sees this happen, pull a Reverse Rockefeller and toss him some pocket change to offset his full share of the alleged-moocher subsidy: "Here's your eighteen cents, now piss off."

Oh, the story is still stupid, one-dimensional and boring but Ayn would have made the rant go on for 42 pages so this clowns brevity wins high marks

It bugs me when people say these guys want to go back to the 1950s. They want to go back to the 1920s.

The US did not have a small government in the 50s. The 30s gave us a semblance of a welfare state, and the 40s and 50s gave us a HUGE military and global role, and taxes sufficient to pay for it.

Added bonus: in the 20s, you could get away with lynching for sure. I think by the 50s, *some* states had started to frown on that.
