We need to provide Bill Maher with education: he attack Ayn Rand out of ignorance.

Watch his video here : https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/flipadi...

Why do people keep confusing today's libertarians with Objectivists? Doesn't anyone ever read a book? Ayn Rand described politicians like Paul Ryan in her books as bureaucratic parasites who stole money from creative workers and hard workers like her heroes. Why defame Rand? Either learn about Objectivism and merit based individualism, or admit that after her death in 1982, the libertarians warped her ideas to justify their unearned wealth. And the bad guys in her books were the rich who hadn't earned their wealth. Hell john Galt, the hero of atlas shrugged was POOR. He just believed in a meritocracy where you only get rich if you truly contributed something to society. It's hilarious how misguided American conservatives are.

    " It's hilarious how misguided American conservatives are. "

    Reconcile this with the rest of your post, please.

    Or replace the word "conservatives" with either "Republicans" or "progressives".

    Why do people keep confusing Libertarians with Objectivists? Probably because Ayn Rand had a huge impact on the Libertarian movement, and a significant percentage of Libertarians are big fans of Ayn Rand? That's just a guess, though...
