Individuals can't do much, compared to groups. That's why corporations exist. And if corporations exist in businessland, then we need other organizations to oppose them- organizations dedicated (oddly enough) TO the individual, and protecting the rights of the individual against behemoths like corporations. It's funny Ayn never really thought about that. Strange woman.

" They think it is your job as an individual to make things better - not the governments."

But, individuals form groups to form governments, to make things better.

Ron Paul believes individuals have the right to be racists, to personally and professionally treat people they feel are inferior as inferiors, bar them from businesses they own, etc. He opposes laws that make those actions illegal.

In this way he SUPPORTS racists and racism.
