@DrTruthiness The fact that we live in a country with a "Corporate Fascist" government, overlaid with the myth of democracy, I think any policy enacted that puts stress on a freemarket (actual free market) and individual accomplishment, might create enough competition to breakup the centeralized power that tyrannizes the 99%. The problem is education- a free man is first a free thinker who learns how to decode reality to find truth.-objective truth.

@asubjectiveopinion With all due respect, given that you made the original claim that Libertarian leadership would lead to the rich getting richer, the responsibility to provide evidence falls on you; not me.

I never claimed that your argument was false. I said, to put it more politely, that it sounded logically nonsensical to argue that libertarians will favor the rich relative to Democrats and Republicans who have been passing trillions of dollars in bailouts and stimulus packages.

@MastodonManiac Yeah, there's nothing quite like showing how much smarter you are than a bigot by being a bigot yourself. That'll show 'em.

@dgfhadsg8 And? Two things, is it not the morals of a christian to see the good in others, that is to see that a serial killer could have good traits. Second, she prides rationality and christianity is a concept of faith, not logic. Why would someone who lives life by what can be seen agree with someone which can't? Added to this, she doesn't hate christians, she chose to ignore christian faith because it doesn't correspond to her philosophy, that makes her more open to ideas than most theists.

@HARRIS2820 Ad hominum is an offense against reason. It's no wonder you don't want to attempt to understand her philosophy

@dgfhadsg8 Christians are the biggest serial killers in the world. Hating Christians is not a bad quality it's a good one. Adults who believe in fairy tales want to run the country? lol.

@DrTruthiness

What evidence do you present to the contrary?

[DrTruthiness]

@asubjectiveopinion You claiming that the rich will get richer under libertarian leadership sounds really, really stupid given Republican and Democratic leadership have spearheaded bank bailouts over the last five years.

Ayn Rand is a biggoted racist who hates mid east muslims. She could suck it for all I care!!
