The Observer is researching the number of humans slaughtered in Ayn Rand's concentration camps as compared to the number slaughtered in national socialist and communist concentration camps.

Apparently, the answer is zero, on the one hand, and about 200 million KILLED by the national socialists and communists... with the communists still adding to their DEATH tally in Cuba, North Korea and other utopian, hell-holes Chait admires. 

BTW - Did the Observer happen to mention that envy is a far more deadly human vice than selfishness? 

Because everyone with a brain remembers that a certain, former German chancellor built national socialism on the ENVY of Jewish wealth... 

Parts of the world have traveled down Chait's road to state slavery.  Fortunately, the USA has only traveled halfway down the road to statism. 

The road we are halfway down to state bondage has a name:

"The New Deal" 

"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.”

--Thomas Jefferson

"The essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it mustbe in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse.”

--James Madison

"Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Likefire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.”
