Hank Comes Home

I don't know if I need to set this up or not, but just in case: all the people in this scene are living off of Hank Rearden's money.

BTW, when the right wing nuts try to latch onto this film, watch to see if they talk about Ayn Rand's hardcore atheism. I expect they'll try to sweep that under the rug.

Thanks for that link, Gary. Great article that I hadn't read before.

Another article on the subject by Michael Ford at Huffington Post.

Both use information in the recently published 100 Voices: An Oral History of Ayn Rand.

Also, they'll ignore the fact that she took Social Security and Medicare.
