  • What is that tune called in the beginning and the end of the clip? I really liked it.

  • What about the right to safety (from foreign agression and criminality). If you live in a nice neighborhood, there is virtualy no crime and still you would pay to make other parts of town safer for the people who live there.

  • @RainMaker8113 I have her book beside me, havn't read her?!? Wanna debate Rand LOL. Your exactly like the creationists who do everything to say Darwin and Einstein were believers in a God contrary to evidence. i.e. your taking a statement and stretching it. Ayn Rand believes

    Reason

    Capitalism

    Civil Liberties

    No Taxes

    No War

    ....DUHHHHHH thats a anarcho-capitalist/libertarian­!!!!

    Ayn Rand on why she didn't support the libertarian party...."They are not defenders of capitalism"

  • @TreeSmoke1999 You haven't actually read any of Rand, have you? "I’d rather vote for Bob Hope, the Marx Brothers, or Jerry Lewis. I don’t think they’re as funny as Professor Hospers and the Libertarian Party." "It’s a cheap attempt at publicity, which Libertarians won’t get." "[Libertarians] are not defenders of capitalism. They’re a group of publicity seekers who rush into politics prematurely, because they allegedly want to educate people through a political campaign, which can’t be done."

  • Walter E Williams and Ayn Rand are some of my fav libertarians

  • Liberty Pen gives me the sense that there ARE souned minded people still out there, not hooked on governement drug, er priviliges and entitlements.

    Liberty Now !

  • @WorldSutra That general welfare argument is such crap. The founders never meant "government payments to the populace" or "redistribution of wealth" when they put that phrase into our constitution. Show me the federalist paper that shows it means what you are saying here. I DARE YOU... Otherwise they would've started social security and medicare after Washington took the oath of office. Look up Madison and "enumerated powers". Takes a leftist to misinterpret our founding documents like that.

  • Walter is a common sense American and great economist. He's brilliant! Glad to have him on the right!
