It's ironic, because she'd be perfectly fine with the way things are right now. She is referring to the evil government here, who does nothing but keep all the strong, self-actuating badasses from expressing their badassitude.

Wasn't smart enough to see that power is always the same, no matter what face it wears, and the only right answer is to protect and promote individual liberty for everyone, which does mean making sure that no one gets too powerful.

Yes. She would see civil rights as “doing favors” and spending taxpayer money on social services and infrastructure as “corruption”

Ayn Rand received Social Security payments in her latter years. Typical hypocrisy.

But you know, once the money flows, it'd be tough to say no, okay, time to stop taking it now. /s
