(Sung to the tune of “Blue Moon”)   Paul Ryan has said that the writings of Ayn Rand were what inspired him to go into public life. —News reports   Ayn Rand Because of you I’m now free. Because of what you have taught, I know it’s all about me. Ayn Rand You taught we should be ambitious, And strive to be avaricious, Since money’s truly delicious.   And we shouldn’t share a nickel of this money With citizens who can’t prevail. The government is not the Easter Bunny. The poor are weaklings who deserved to fail.   Ayn Rand Before you I was immobile But then you taught me to know That being selfish is noble.
