"I don't believe the American people should ever be told any lies, publicly or privately," Ayn Rand testified under oath before Congress in October 1947, adding that "I don't believe that lies are practical". I don't believe that the morale of anybody can be built up by a lie." That’s the same Ayn Rand who continues to have significant influence on American political life, with devoted followers on the libertarian right, including Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan, now the Republican nominee for Vice President.
