Ayn Rand's opinions don't fit into a hybrid social system like ours. It can only be rationalized in a communist or other totalitarian society. Can you imagine a corporation with unlimited power that is free to do anything it pleases? We need government to regulate predatory practices. It would be great if government would step up and regulate healthcare costs and credit card providers a bit more harshly.

  The government has elected representatives. It's not totalitarian. In a state with zero government regulation, you have just as terrible atrocities.

    Some governments have elected representatives; while lately very much in fashion, this is by no means a requirement.
