Topic: Is it ironic that Ayn Rand took welfare?

I don't think so. She was forced to pay into the system, it only makes sense you get what you pay for.
I don't want to buy a new TV, but if someone stole the money, and I had no chance of getting it back, I'd accept the offer of a "free" TV.
She was only against being forced into social security, she never said anything about it being bad to receive the product you paid for.

Another fun fact: Ayn Rand openly despised libertarians.

Not her politics over all, except she was sure rite on about the need to be selfish when you run a business. Not easy keeping Gov out of your business even IF Gov is the business one caters too.

"They" ruined nothing. Its the fact that your mother married her brother, that makes you so bitter.

Is it ironic Ayn Rand thought homosexuality was immoral but looked like a bulldyke?

I applied for foodstamps today. I am not happy. My probation officer doesn't care that I don't have a job "just focus on your community service hours" it sucks. I had to ask my mom for money and I hate doing that.

If i have no intention of hiding them, they must be obvious. Only an idiot points out the obvious.

Yes, she is. I'm glad she knew how to write my address and write a check so she could send me some money so I can have a phone to call her with.
