The government should not be in the business of charity, simply because the government is not a charity it is a means to tax every last one of us for the money to fund project we don't approve of. That is not love or charity that is theft at gunpoint. Welfare has become not the means to take care of those that cannot work but the means to take care of those that will not work and will vote for their masters to earn more ducats and a bigger piece of the dole which government will provide.

Original Message
There’s something deeply unsettling about living in a country where millions of people go frothing batshit angry at the suggestion that maybe health care coverage should be extended to the tens of millions of Americans who don’t have it; or when they froth at the mouth in ecstasy at the thought of privatizing and slashing bedrock social programs like Social Security or Medicare. It might not be as hard to stomach if other Western countries also had a large, vocal chunk of their population who thought like this, but the US is seemingly the only place where right-wing elites can openly share their distaste for the working poor. Where do they find their philosophical justification for this kind of attitude?
It turns out, you can trace much of this thinking back to Ayn Rand, a popular cult-philosopher who plays Charlie to the American right-wing’s Manson Family. Read on and you’ll see why.
