    Jeet Heer Retweeted corey robin

    Like Ronald Reagan and Robert Heinlein, Ayn Rand was willing to enjoy the benefits of the government largesse when it suited her and then present herself as a proponent of bootstrap individualism. Chutzpah is very important in pulling this sort of scam.https://twitter.com/CoreyRobin/status/1033734979640086531 …

    When do I let my new right-wing friends, who've just discovered the NYT paywall, learn that Ayn Rand's play, The Night of January 16th, was given an extended life (and gave her a nice income) by the Federal Theatre Project of Roosevelt's New Deal? pic.twitter.com/y5UdfI877o

        I read him after someone explained to me his bullshit. I think he is still an enjoyable and good writer. I had a much more difficult time with Kurt Vonnegut after reading Welcome to the Monkey House.

        They wouldn’t have copped to it as hypocrisy. Instead, as benefiting from suckers in government.

        And her acolyte, Paul Ryan, will soon be enjoying a different, indirect form of government largess: cashing in as a lobbyist. Likewise, chutzpah is very important in pulling this sort of scam.

        This is the equivalent of saying "so you're pro smaller government? Why do you pay your taxes, then, hypocrite?"

        Quite the opposite actually. If these things are so bad and destructive, then why did they play such a role in helping these people be successful?
