There are no complicated concepts in Rand's books. The books are

I'd be interested in hearing about exactly what you think the so
called "neocons" did to wreck the US economy. The war in Iraq was
ill advised and increased debt but hardly wrecked the economy. The
deregulation of Wall Street was already well along under the Clinton
administration. Relaxation of mortgage lending standards began in
the Clinton administration. What else?




Oh come on Wayne... the neocons stated objective is to destroy the middle
class and the economy in general, and gut social programs to promote their
ill-advised, Ayn Rand-like philosophy of the free market uber alles. Do your
own research or get your head out of the sand? Where have you been for the
last decade? Have you picked up a newspaper? The Iraq war cost us over $1T
and counting. Ill advised? How about criminally negligent. If you want to
blame a former president, start with Reagan.

And, you're probably going to tell me next that the last crowd of
Republicans are going to make things better by doing the same thing they did
last time they were in power. What else.
