“Quote” of the Week

“America’s abundance was created not by public sacrifices to ‘the common good,’ but by the productive genius of free men who pursued their own personal interests and the making of their own private fortunes. They did not starve the people to pay for America’s industrialization. They gave the people better jobs, higher wages and cheaper goods with every new machine they invented, with every scientific discovery or technological advance — and thus the whole country was moving forward and profiting, not suffering, every step of the way.” – Ayn Rand

Great quote from the lady who shaped my politics when I was in college. I found “Atlas Shrugged” and loved it.  I went on to read “The Ayn Rand Lexicon: Objectivism from A to Z.”  The book was published in 1988 but covered Rand’s writings throughout her career.  Her writings and subjects are still relative today.
