I'm from Charlotte, NC and I am a new fan of Ayn Rand's writings. I see daily how her predictions are coming to fruition. I would prefer to be part of the solution and not part of the problem. I believe fully that I am entitled to a profit for the goods and services I provide the construction industry and that the jobs I provide and the current taxes I pay are sufficient repayment to anyone who thinks I owe them a thing. I also believe in charity of my own free will and helping those who are truly in need and NOT those choose to loot me and you for their own peraonal pleasure.

I believe that "history repeats itself" and "we should learn from others mistakes" however, this seems to have no affect on the majority of Americans today...they are for the most part walking blindly to slaughter and I have no desire to be a part of that massacre.

Well there's you go. If I have offended anyone I can see myself to the door now. :()
