Interesting! I’ve never read Ayn Rand but have seen lots of quotes.

My volunteer work this year was not for beggars. There was at least a 100 year flood here and over 300 homes were seriously damaged. All of the homeowners except for this latest home were so overly joyed that we were there helping them. This last home, we have spent 7 days there and have only seen the home owners one time and no thanks or help was offered. I will continue to help but I will not do it for people that expect it. I’m going to tell them to ask Obama for help. And I do sleep well at night.

It's astonishing how prescient Rand was. You may want to grab a copy of Atlas Shrugged before it's banned.

This is Objectivism in a nutshell:

Always act in accordance with the hierarchy of your values and never sacrifice a greater value to a lesser one. Your highest moral purpose is the achievement of your own happiness.
