Everybody knows that libertarians are greedy capitalists who favor the maximization of profit above all else. “Taxation is theft!” they cry, but the exploitation of the working classes fails to elicit any similar moral outrage. Libertarians, everybody knows, care about the rich to the utter neglect of the poor and vulnerable.

Svima je poznato da su libertarijanci pohlepni kapitalisti koji favorizuju maksimizaciju profita iznad svega drugog. "Oporezivanje je krađa!" uzvikuju oni, dok recimo eksploatacija radničke klase u njima ne izaziva nikakvu sličnu moralnu bjes. Svi znaju da libertarijanci brinu o bogatima uz krajnje zanemarivanje siromašnih i ugroženih.
“It is not right, it is not proper to man to take anything on faith. Religion is a matter of faith. You accept a religion emotionally or because you were born to it. You have not chosen it rationally.” An excerpt from Phil Donahue show where Ayn Rand talks about faith and reason. Full interview transcript available here. Source: Aubrey YouTube channel.
Ayn Rand: When you accept such an important issue as the creation of the universe on faith you are destroying your confidence and the validity of your own mind. It has to be either reason or faith.
