then she lived off only SS until she died
Are you saying she didn't directly pay for SS? And what exactly has that to do with her statement that Anarchy is bad?
I am? Link us up.
Let's talk about Social Security and Scholarships and what Ayn Rand actually stated about them:
Whenever the welfare-state laws offer them some small restitution, the victims should take it . . . .
The same moral principles and considerations apply to the issue of accepting social security, unemployment insurance or other payments of that kind. It is obvious, in such cases, that a man receives his own money which was taken from him by force, directly and specifically, without his consent, against his own choice. Those who advocated such laws are morally guilty, since they assumed the “right” to force employers and unwilling co-workers. But the victims, who opposed such laws, have a clear right to any refund of their own money—and they would not advance the cause of freedom if they left their money, unclaimed, for the benefit of the welfare-state administration.

So... This myth about her "hypocrisy" is simple, only from people who actually do not know what Ayn Rand has to say on the subject, and simply and directly not true. If I were to channel Desh I would say something like, "Liars lie!" but I would spell it more poorly.

Government Grants and Scholarships
¶
The fundamental evil of government grants is the fact that men are forced to pay for the support of ideas diametrically opposed to their own. This is a profound violation of an individual’s integrity and conscience. It is viciously wrong to take the money of rational men for the support of B.F. Skinner—or vice versa. The Constitution forbids a governmental establishment of religion, properly regarding it as a violation of individual rights. Since a man’s beliefs are protected from the intrusion of force, the same principle should protect his reasoned convictions and forbid governmental establishments in the field of thought.

Ayn was an atheist.
I was obviously referring to the difference between them as people, so your argument is the moot point
I am? You're the one who keeps responding to posts saying duh, dar, you don't get it. I always find that a curious argument by liberals. Due to your great intelligence, you don't get anything that isn't liberal. Can't process the words. I think intelligent people actually get arguments regardless of whether they agree with them. We'll have to agree to disagree on that
why does the left claim the only way to help others is to have government do it?
Believing in democracy is evil and unamerican. America was formed as a Federation, they specifically wanted to prevent a Democracy, which is just tyrrany of the majority.
Thomas Jefferson: "Democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where 51% of the people may take away the rights of the other 49%"
To have charity be charity, it must involve choice of the giver. What you support is simple mob rule
That's ridiculous, no one in the right is trying to destroy social security. Now libertarians, we'd do away with that ridiculous welfare program in a heart beat. Republican candidates are barely different from Democrat ones. If the political spectrum were a football field, you and Republicans would be standing next to each other. It cracks me up when you call me a Republican. I'm the bogeyman. Republicans are nothing that you accuse them of being. I'm the real thing. I'd gut the welfare monstrosity in this country. Republicans just want to slow it's growth, and only slow it by a little
Exactly, you're a welfare queen living on other people's money
And you saved nothing for your own welfare checks. Your government spent it as you sent it in. Zero was saved. Ever.
