Man, none of you guys have a clue. Have you read Rand or are you just regurgitating what you read on Wikipedia?
Rand's philosophy isn't about wealth, it's about expecting a fair reward for your inspiration and sweat.
Money isn't something that is simply printed out by the government; it’s the output of a man's mind and back. It isn't a zero sum game. if you think smarter or work harder you should do well. Those who do not think or work don't produce anything and can't do well -- unless they steal it from those who do. The world is a better place because of those who think and work.
According to this philosophy those who do well aren't necessarily rich they can be anyone from all walks of like.
On the other hand, the Karl Marx philosophy is about theft. Those who need take precedent over those who produce. There are so many demonstrations of the failure of this system that it's a laugh to see it even discussed here.
