Ayn Rand: the Mike Wallace Interview pt. 1

You really need to see part two of this interview to get the point that Ayn is getting at. That man has a right to his own life, to include his own money that he earns at a job.
the government does not have a right to what I earn. I am the one who goes to a job and works in exchange for money. If anyone takes what I earn through the use of force or the threat of force it is robbery. If I am working only for the government to take it I am reduced to slavery. The right of majority rules is crap. I have an unalienable right to life and liberty. No vote of a majority should be able to take that away, but we see it more and more every day.
Another evil phrase is "for the common good". If all of us citizens took a vote and 51% of us voted that "for the common good" you should be put to death, we would be taking away your right to life. Yet our rights are being taken away every day "for the common good."
