Embrace Rand's Uber-CapitalismFrom the Boston Herald, "GOP leaders call on Mitt Romney to embrace wealth" Jan. 27:
Gov. Mitt Romney should stop running from the hefty $42.5 million income he reported over the past two years and embrace his success, baffled Republicans said yesterday..AtlastSociety.orgRomney released more than 500 pages of federal income tax returns... [they] showed his substantial earnings of more than $42 million over 2010 and 2011, tax payments as low as 14 percent for a total of $6.2 million, and a few foreign bank accounts and investments in known tax havens such as Switzerland and the Cayman Islands
Edward Hudgins of the Atlas Society, which promotes the ideas of late uber-capitalist Ayn Rand, said Romney should stop his sheepish efforts to explain away his wealth.
“I would like to see Romney take the moral high ground and take pride in his wealth,” he said.

He did exactly that in last nights debate, and he knocked it out of the park.
Santorum backed him up on it too.
Romney has never "apologized for his wealth."
In fact, he's said multiple times -- in pretty much every debate -- "I refuse to apologize for" it, then citing how he earned it. Those moments are usually his strongest debate moments.
Leonard Peikoff would never accept this "premise," simply because it came from the Atlas Society, therefore, not "objective." ;)
Peikoff is nuttier than Ayn Rand. Nathaniel Brandon is a lot more rational.
So is David Kelley, and Diana Hsieh.allypth
