Ayn Rand Fans at the Tea Party at Dallas City Hall

Ayn Rand Fans at the Tea Party at Dallas City Hall

Heather Carr
Quite a few Ayn Rand fans showed up at the tea party. A show of hands indicated that maybe one in ten people there had read Atlas Shrugged. A summary was given of the book: Ayn Rand divided society (in the book) into two groups -- the Producers and the Moochers. Producers work for a living and Moochers live off the Producers. As time progresses, the Moochers become Looters and the only difference is that Looters are Moochers with guns. The Producers make a promise among themselves to never share with the Looters.
