The Ayn Rand Institute.

This is the organization that holds all of the copyrights to Ayn Rand's works. They also publish teacher and student study guides, sponsor writing contests, provide speakers for radio and TV engagements, write articles, etc.

Real slimy characters IMO.

The most telling for me was during the 2008 election campaign. ARI wrote an article that called John McCain a traitor for the the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform act. The ARI later removed the article from their web site. They are like cats in a litter box.

Notice I deleted that post.

I visited ARIs website. Honestly, I skimmed. Just another rightwing "think tank". Amazing how many of the ideas espoused in there can be heard daily in the rightwing media....VERBATUM, right down to the letter.

ARI is more evil than a right wing think tank. ARI is the propoganda arm for plutocrats. ARI's job is to make voters feel sorry for rich people. Their job is also advocate for an extreme brand of anarcho-capitalism. Of course they don't call it that. They just call it capitalism.
