Atlas Shrugged  |Capitalism  |Personal life  | It’s Ayn Rand bashing time once again. Our “friends” on the left are on the warpath for a change, and have Miss Rand in their crosshairs.

And a hypocrite to boot. And why is this? It is because while she railed against Social Security and Medicare, she availed herself of payments from these funds. Isn’t that horrible?
