Two thumbs up for Phat Bottom.


I caught this one cause I was pretty sure that you were going to bandwagon with Saxi.

1) SS has not contributed 1 penny to our nation debt
2) If we only doubled the rate that billionaires pay in, SS would be fine for like another 70 years - big whoop

And what rate do they pay in at? The same as someone who makes $110K a year?

Come on BBS and Saxi, you're just being too detail-oriented.

Ayn Rand clearly wrote "John Galt said, 'I hate sociale security.'" Rand spelled the word "social" incorrectly, which should not make JB wrong.

Based on this hard-hitting evidence, I'd argue that John Galt was in fact talking about collectivist security, i.e. state-funded security for the nation.

Marx my words, and you'll be sorry!

I'll trust it enough to read it, then research and form an opinion.


well, what he said is not the truth. It's totally a joke at the expense of the truth.

I've said before that I don't know if Social Security allowed her to live in dignity; or if it caused her to lose her dignity.
I'm sure she would say something about how taking the money is ok because her point was that greed is good or something, but IMHO she fails.


So she didn't actually retract her comments as indicated in your post?


Actions speak louder than words. She didn't write any book retracting what she wrote or anything, she just went ahead and did everything she told us was wrong and parasitic to do.


Rand does not have to be perfect in order for her ideals and her philosophy she put forth to have merit. That's the worst argument ever, but I'm not getting into it further than that because this is all a joke anyways, and I only address this to point out the worst argument ever.

Like when a Christian tries to follow the Bible, and someone sees them do something that the Bible says don't do, and labels them a hypocrite forever......People do not need to be perfect in order to strive to be better and do the right thing.

Juan_Bottom wrote:I answered your question; it's a trick question because she wrote fiction books to promote Laissez-Faire. I'm pretty sure that I cannot even find a quote of her directly criticizing welfare. The characters in her books do though. If you read Atlas Shrugged you'd understand what a moocher and a looter are. Laissez-Faire, her beloved form of capitalism, does not leave room for Social Security. Now, obviously she did do some talking too, but she didn't directly criticize a lot. All of her essays pretty much rehash her old arguments about capitalism, sex, and religion. If you're going to argue that she was not against Social Security or welfare then you're going to run up against not only the liberals here, but also the conservatives. It's no-man's land. And as Ayn Rand said, the middle ground is the most dishonest & evil or something.

I specifically redirected to you that it was a trick question because I know how you like to twist everything to match your antagonistic, anarchistic agenda. I had to make sure I put that there in the beginning for people who read through.


I'll rephrase my question to a single word if that helps.

Now, I did find something she did actually say.
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.


Her actions in this case make the words she spoke louder.

You guys!

Listen to her words, not Phat Bottoms. The interviewer here trolls Ayn Rand in a similar fashion as well.

Ok, but what's a "moocher?" Or a "looter?" Or a "parasite?"

I agree with you 100% but I want to be clear that my argument was about her, not about her ideas.

patrickaa317 wrote:Her actions in this case make the words she spoke louder.


1) You can opt-out of Social Security.
2) She was also on Medicaid.
3) Both programs go against Lassaiz Faire.


I mean, you can say that she paid into it and deserved that "refund," but the fact lives on that she was a two-pack a day smoker who needed Medicaid & Social Security to pay her medical expenses. She had also said that one who accepts government control is 'delivering oneself into gradual enslavement' and she said 'there can be no compromise on basic principles.' Yet in the end she compromised her principles and accepted help under an assumed name. She couldn't do it on her own like she said.
So Ayn Rand asked Evva Pryror, a consultant, to enroll her on her behalf and to have it sent to an assumed name.

She did specifically pay into the social security fund. She was just getting her own money back. That is the reason we pay into it. There is no problem with that, and that is exactly how it is supposed to work.

You would only have a point if she received corporate or public welfare.

Oh, and many some sources too, but it's proving too much for JB to be intellectually honest.

Troll on, JB.

She did hate SS, it's no secret. She hated government interference in anything. Of course, being part of post-depression generation should have given her a better perspective, I think.

But,
AynRand.org/her foundation did and does
By now it’s no secret that I think Social Security is an unjust monstrosity by which the elderly live off the work of younger generations. So what should be done about it?

The only moral solution—the only one that puts an end to the wealth redistribution and protects people’s right to keep what they earn—is to abolish Social Security entirely.


But she still needed Social Security to maintain her quality of life. Her conversation with her counselor and her law firm about greed and her need for SS benefits is pretty infamous and funny.

Actually, she was just under 40 years old when the depression ended, not part of the "post-depression" generation. "Post-depression" generation typically applies to people 20-40 years born after her.

I think I found the issue, you must be talking of a different Ayn Rand than the rest of us.

I was talking about her life from Russia-to-America! Which would be one depression to another. A quick search though does show that my understanding of Russia following WWI may not be consistent with a "depression." It seems they weren't effected in the same way in St. Petersburg. So I was wrong about that.

Here's your original claim: " Social Security for partially increasing our national debt somehow."

which doubts that SS increases our national debt.

No source on that.

Then, it's
1) SS has not contributed 1 penny to our nation debt
2) If we only doubled the rate that billionaires pay in, SS would be fine for like another 70 years - big whoop


And where does 5/15/2012 Bernie Sanders support that
(1) SS does increase our national debt (or SS somehow doesn't do this).
(2) SS has not contributed 1 penny to our nation debt
(3) on the condition that "If we only doubled the rate that billionaires pay in, SS would be fine for like another 70 years - big whoop"

Without even providing a link or quoting the relevant parts, you're trolling at this point.


Furthermore, lol @ #3.


HEY, GUISE. Government spending does not increase out national debt, nor does it contribute a single penny to our national debt------

GIVEN THAT, we significantly tax the billionaires, millionaires, and what the hell, everyone!


JB gets a C- for effort. His Phatist condition is worsening.
