"The Ayn Rand libertarian Republicans believe in and foster the goal of little or no government. In this view average workers are "takers" (remember Romney's 47 percent?); people or government has no obligation to help the less fortunate; unrestricted free enterprise (no regulations) is desireable; unions must be eliminated; and voting restricted to those judged "worthwhile.""

with 99.9999% certainty the writer has not read Atlas Shrugged...I could be wrong.

Yes. This letter writer is the typical Ayn Rand critic! Most people who use her name as an epithet eventually admit they haven't read the books and they only know something about them.

I agree Richard Metayer probably has not read the books. His attitude is not uncommon though.

Guess you can post anything on the internet and call it news.

He probably got his information on Atlas from his college roommate's notes.

Not only did he not read the book, he didn't watch the movies either.

There was one good thing about it... it was a brief bit of tripe. :)

Is this the typist's name?
Richard Metayer Mystic?
(I called him a typist for obvious reasons.)

Richard Metayer Mystic

I think that he is from Mystic, Connecticut. The irony is unavoidable.
