Atlas Shrugged

So after all the fanfares here, I decided to check out this book. Right now I'm on chapter 3 of part 1, it got some pretty good dramas so far, although a bit different from anything I have read up to date.

So I'm curious, what's all the hate about?

Because young twenty-somethings are all hippy communist fags and Ayn Rand's basic message is that the proper moral purpose of our lives is our own happiness (making obscene amounts of money and not being required to share said money for one).

This disturbs the rebellious and naive children of middle class America because they have never had to live in a socialist country like Rand did and as such view socialism as a utopian ideal, and the greed in American capitalism as evil (because apparently it is not right for a man to keep to himself all the money that he has worked hard for).
