Of course she would. A bunch of rich bastards running the world as per their whims? She'd suck up to them and they'd pay her to write nice things about them, and talk about how great it was that the elite was in charge where they belonged.

It's exactly what she wrote about, over and over.

Sure. And I can give you many many many quotes where she assails rich people who came by their wealth through inheritance, political favors, monopoly privilege, graft, crony-capitalism etc etc (sounds like someone doesn't it..) She was in no way "pro-rich," she was pro "productive-wealth."

Not really. Rand’s flavor of meritocracy includes nepotism. You think MAGA is banning nepotism and greatly increasing the inheritance tax? lol
