I read this as a junior in high school. Please, please. Don't all applaud at once. This is not a brag. It is, instead, an idea of the sort of person who would buy into something so heavy-handed and, quite frankly, narrow-minded such as this. This is not a story. This is propaganda. According to Ms. Rand, if you're not rich, if you're not blessed with good genes, if you're socially inept, if you, GOD FORBID, approve of government-backed social programs--- you are morally bankrupt. Forget about mental illness, forget about disabilities, forget about the fact that the cycle of poverty is both self-perpetuating and perpetuated by the same ideologies that Rand is nuts about. Forget about institutionalized racism, forget about the environment...THERE'S MONEY TO BE MADE! This 1,000 page behemoth is great for flower pressing, tofu pressing, or keeping on your shelves just in case you need to prove to someone that you can actually read.
