If you are going to draw conclusions about objectivism from just one of her sci-fi novels, it should be Atlas Shrugged. Just reading Fountainhead gives you no idea what her philosophy was about. Her last book: Philosophy: Who Needs It? would be the best place to start.

If you think her followers are bad, you should check out what people who follow the philosophy laid out in the Christian Bible have done.

> Then there is no contradiction after all.

True. Karma works impartially, irrespective of whether you believe in it or not.

You seem to be a philospher. Could you please tell me what Axioms you hold to be true? If you hold no Axioms as true then how can there be any contradictions? As a student of philosophy, do you really think it is NOT worth having any AXIOMS on which you base your life? If this is the case, how can you even make sense of the world around you. These are the questions that Ayn Rand asks in the following book.

Philosophy: Who Needs It is a better introduction. If that makes sense then move on to The Virtue of Selfishness

I didn't say she wasn't collecting S.S benefits. Everyone regardless of income can draw S.S. That said, I supposed you didnt say anything about how much money she died with either.

On the subject of withdrawing S.S, she wrote an entire essay on the morality of accepting government money and scholarships in one of her books:

She wan't opposed to doing so like many conservatives might be.
