1. They use to insist that this is a

Christian Nation. Impossible to be both.

2. Ayn Rand also came from Russia.

She made a living railing against government programs, and when she got old and sick, she stole someones identity in order to get medicare and social security. She is a Republican wet dream.

3. What do you mean "stole somebody's identity"?

She likely used her real name because "Ayn Rand" was a pen name. She was born Alisa Rosenbaum and married Frank O'Connor.

I seriously doubt she committed any kind of fraud receiving those benefits. She paid into the system or her husband did, and she was entitled to those benefits.

It makes her a hypocrite, but that is all.

4. She used someone elses social security number, and identity probably to hide the fact that she

was wrong about everything she preached. She said that people that couldn't take care of themselves
should just be allowed to die. That they should not receive any help at all.

5. Prove it. She was also married, so she could draw on his.

Not buying your claim one bit.

6. I believe it was one of her followers allowed her to use their SS # to save her the humiliation of

admitting she was wrong in her last few months.

7. Not under a false name. Looked it up under Wikipedia.

It was a social worker who worked for her attorney who enrolled her.

That is not identity theft or fraud. She was entitled to receive the benefits. She could get them as a spouse, like all wives can, even if she herself didn't pay into it. It would be obvious to me Frank O'Connor had his 40 quarters in to qualify for SS, let alone Medicare.

8. You are correct! I had to look it up again. I'm getting old and my memory is slipping..LOL
