The Beckians will have to support themselves somehow, just like any other intentional community. Glenn Beck has that clothing line 1791. What’s a better way to get cheap, sweatshop labor than to set up a dormitory-style labor complex and call it a utopia? Sewing machines for everyone! ---

[QUOTE=Ayn Rand] Now it’s a bad sign for an allegedly pro-capitalist party to start by stealing ideas. [/QUOTE] Bullshit! That’s **exactly** how a true capitalist would do it! And then send thugs to rough up anybody who makes a fuss over patent-infringement! Remember how that ubercapitalist Thomas Edison dealt with Nicholas Tesla?! ---
