@mcburls And Paul Ryan was a follower of her work. Of course that was after he used the benefits of his father's SS to go to school.

@na52g So was Alan Greenspan. Yikes!

@mcburls Why was she “mooching” exactly?

@EmpressLivvy Okay, she collected the benefits she was entitled to and had railed against for years.

@mcburls Don't they think she was a "radical leftist" though? I can't keep track anymore.

@mcburls And...she was an atheist.

@mcburls Ignorance and hypocrisy defines the RW

@mcburls That’s the way it is with those who preach self reliance, help from the federal government is socialism. Until the need is theirs, their states due to a natural disaster, then it’s all for me, everything all at once from all of you.

@mcburls Like Paul Ryan one of her most devoted followers.

@Wilson55965821 I can't disagree.

@mcburls I suggest that republicans are hypocritical and willfully blind.

@mcburls "Mooching"?

@mcburls She was Russian as well...

@mcburls But of course

@mcburls I’m not defending her but if she paid in to SS & Medicare, she wasn’t “mooching”. I paid in for 50 years & am drawing MY paid-in benefits. I am not mooching. The gov’t operates in arrears which is what gets them into trouble. And they’ve taken from SS fund for decades! Pay up!

@mcburls Eugenics didn't work out all that well for her and her followers, either, at least, after WWII.

@mcburls Ayn Rand was a horrible human being.

@mcburls She wrote what she knew a certain slice of America wanted to hear. And her estate has made millions from that focused avarice. Can you say HYPOCRISY? Just so typical of Repugnicans and Libertarians.

@mcburls @2ndSon9671 Do you know how conservatives justify here behavior in going on the dole. It was a "rational" decision,a telling word and a favorite with economic libertarians.
