I read the Roadmap for America, or whatever it was called, authored by Paul Ryan. The hair stood up on the back of my head literally. It looked a lot like (with no apologies to Hayek) the Road to Serfdom. Us everyday types would continue to support the super-rich to live off our labor. The whole country would look like a company town, where the company store would take everything you earned. I can’t remember if Ryan did a lip-service repudiation of Ayn Rand’s ideas or not but he was all on board.

Go back farther and read the Contract with America from Newt, who is still around....
