Feel free to depart... but leave the stuff, thanks.
To the Randian rich people who think they can teach the littles a lesson by depriving us of their innovative genius, you are free to head to the mountain enclave any time, leaving us defectives to wallow in our filth, trying to remember the recipe for toast.
But your stuff stays here.
Since your amazing value to the universe is your genius and character you are welcome to exercise that genius and character in turning Richsylvannia into a second Eden.
But your wealth is, unlike your soul and integrity and genius, not yours alone to possess. Sorry.
By what right do the littles own your stuff? By the same right by which you own your genius (for planning lavish parties)... the innate gift of the littles which is theirs and theirs alone is that there are many millions of them. And they can take your stuff.
See, social Darwinism is like any other kind of Darwinism. You demand the law of the jungle. Well, the law of the jungle says that a torch-wielding mob has more "right" to an asset than some simpering idle rich twit.
The Ayn Rand fantasists remind me of the Confederacy. When they seceded they appropriated all the military assets in the south. (That's what Fort Sumter was about, beginning the Civil War.) But that's not how it works. All assets of the US military were the property of the United States of America... an entity the south no longer belonged to.
