Trouble is: Koch brothers are very much into the same things as Trump is but they want to be able to control POTUS not having to deal with lose cannon that shoots everything and everyone and is only predictable in his unpredictability. So I’d think that the same policies would be pushed forward but without as much drama and publicity. In the end everyone will end up just as screwed.
she had to recognize that there were exceptions to her theory. So that started our politial discussions. From there on - with gusto - we argued all the time the initial argument was on greed. She had to see that there was such a thing as greed in this world. Doctors could cost an awful lot more money than books earn
she gave me her power of attorney to deal with all matters having to do with health and Social Security. Whether she agreed or not is not the issue – Evva Pryor, legal consultant
In the end, she didn’t accept Social Security, but pragmatically allowed Evva Pryor to sign her up under a Power of Attorney, apparently.
This way she got to cling to her naive beliefs about brutal anti-socialism AND not suffer for them.
“Benefits for me but not thee” as well as avoiding karmic justice, seems to be the hallmark of the modern American Republican, and I can see why she’s the poster-child. The fact she took what she describes as ‘hand-outs’ gives her closet a skeleton the remaining Darth Koch can use to destroy her when Zombie Ayn Rand is no longer valuable.
But reading the excerpt, it’s funny that this “tax and hand-outs” diatribe doesn’t hold water when it’s not “you being paid by these handouts and then paying to live” but instead “the state provides your first 5 basic needs (food, clothing, shelter, belonging, safety) for you based on voters’ decisions” since there is no money given TO the individual. But that’s just an observation based on the pittance I’ve read this morning; I don’t want to get into some argument with a Rand fan about what the Prophet really meant.

They legitimately want Ayn Rand for president, they’d dig her up in an instant if they got their hands on a necromancer.
0 regulation government with handouts for them and none for us as their wet dreams. We have them to thank for the “Freedumb Caucus”
Didn’t she die on public assistance?
yes :

She was a piece of shit and a coward, based on what I gather from your reply. Thanks for sharing.
Happened to a lot of conservative groups. Set the fertilizer perfectly for a plant they did not want.
