Reply To: Atlas Shrugged and the Torah

Charlie: All I know is one thing, and this is all I really see the point of the book as, and the point with which I agree with it.

And it is this:

If I decide to give you charity–that is good of me.

If the chachomim decide I must give you charity–I trust that they are doing what Hashem wants and that I must give it because that is what Hashem wants.

If you vote that I should give you charity–that is just stealing.

That is all I’m saying, and that is what I see as the principal point of the book.
