[C. Edmund Wright]

Your post was so good I am compelled to reprint it:

Ayn Rand was right about the world...up to a point. But CS Lewis found the ultimate truth. Ayn Rand died in denial.

I’ve read most of their books, and Rand makes a good case for refuting Progressivism but her dream world is a harsh place of misery for most. That’s why her books refute progressives so easily. Because they envision the same world of misery, only with different masters and slaves.

Misery how? If you don't work you don't eat? That's misery?

Well, the way I see it today you and I are the (tax)slaves of the miserable non-working class who believes they're ENTITLED to that which we work for and produce, simply because they exist. I refute that point.

I would much rather live in Rand's economic world where those who choose to sit on their ass and do nothing to provide for themselves suffer the consequences for it - rather than you and I being forced by the Government's wealth redistribution schemes to continue paying "benefits" for them.

And read my words very carefully: those who choose to sit on their ass and do nothing.
