Wikipedia even has article about Rand's philosophy: Objectivism

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objectivism_(Ayn_Rand)
Ayn Rand actually calls her philosophy Objectivism.

Her philosophy does sound reasonable but don't you think that reality is sometimes subjective?

"Subjectivity, a subject's personal perspective, feelings, beliefs, desires or discovery, as opposed to those made from an independent, objective, point of view."

It's nice to be objective when you are a multi-millionaire but when you're unemployed, life is more subjective. It really makes sense that this is the dividing line of our American political life.

Subjective, of course. That's why Republicanism works so well in politics because they get it both ways.
