Alternet has the article ("The Southern State Fast Becoming Ayn Rand's Vision of Paradise - Tennessee lawmakers have elevated hatred for government and disgust for poor people to an art form"): (link...)

This is an informative piece even though the writer joins too many others these days in misrepresenting Ayn Rand. I have no desire to be a Rand apologist--some of her views are, well, problematic--but so many misuse her books as a defense of the 1%. Even John Galt was a poor itinerant laborer for many years. Rand's books show intense disgust not for honest hardworking people who actually produce things but instead for fat cat corporate looters such as James Taggart and his cronies.
