[quote=@Kratesis] [@Dynamo Frokane] There is a class of entrepreneurs, businessmen and other such corporate types who are into Ayn Rand. It does have to do with low taxes of course but it also gives them a heroic identity. I don't know if you have read Atlas Shrugged or any of Ayn Rand's other novels but they offer the idea of the creator as a heroic individualist, stoically bearing the weight of those jealous of their success and others who want to use the power of government (and social ties) to leach off their wealth. While bearing these burdens the heroic creator forges ahead with a vision only they can see until their vision is made real by their long and difficult struggle. There is a lot more too it but that's the gist of things. [/quote] 21st century divine mandate, essentially.
