Though this isn't the proper forum for this discussion, Ayn Rand wouldn't have objected to the CEO choosing to pay his employees an above-market wage.

- WorldMaker 11y agoGood point, and one that is lost in a lot of modern political discourse. I once had some very cool discussions with a (very) early fan of Objectivism, when it was more a religion than a economic philosophy, and his perspective on what the modern Libertarian Thinktanks have done to co-opt Objectivism was fascinating. Unfortunately for him, although the economics adherents have lost a lot of the nuance of the original Rand vision in addition to the stronger religious views, they certainly haven't fallen that far from the tree and have kept the religious sort of fervent devotion to their version of its ideals.
