I feel much compassion and empathy for my fellow man...

...I just don't want the "rotten no-good government" to act as the "middle man" to my charitable feelings.

Let me keep my earnings and wealth to dispense to those I want to personally help and nurture (close friends and relatives and people that we come in contact with in everyday life and want to help) without the forced taxation and plunder of the immoral and out-of-control government acting as "do-gooder"..

Ayn Rand is "the chit".

Read her and understand her before you knock her,.

I don't know about Ayn's compassion but my compassion is tempered by considering the decisions an individual has made to bring them to the circumstances they are in. Decisions regarding having children and having them out of wedlock. Decisions on how they vote and their political persuasion greatly affect a persons current circumstance. If you learned that conservatives were happier wouldn't you want to be conservative?
