"Proof Mitt Romney & Oaul Ryan are Consumed by the Libertarian Utopian Me Society" 

From President Vladimir Putin's Russia Today. This post was updated June 24, 2022. Since the Russian Federation has unlawfully invaded the Sovereign Republic of Ukraine, Russia Today (which is part of Vladimir Putin's propaganda machine) it's no longer available on YouTube in America, Russia Today is the network that carries with The Big Picture With Thom Hartmann, so you can't see his video here about Ayn Rand, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, and the 2012 presidential election. 

"RT (formerly Russia Today or Rossiya Segodnya (Russian: Россия Сегодня))[9] is a Russian state-controlled[1] international television network funded by the Russian government.[16][17] It operates pay television or free-to-air channels directed to audiences outside of Russia, as well as providing Internet content in Russian, English, Spanish, French, German and Arabic.

RT is a brand of TV-Novosti, an autonomous non-profit organization founded by the Russian state-owned news agency RIA Novosti in April 2005.[8][18] During the economic crisis in December 2008, the Russian government, headed by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, included ANO "TV-Novosti" on its list of core organizations of strategic importance to Russia.[19][20][21] RT operates as a multilingual service with channels in five languages: the original English-language channel was launched in 2005, the Arabic-language channel in 2007, Spanish in 2009, German in 2014 and French in 2017. RT America (2010–2022),[22][23] RT UK (2014–2022) and other regional channels also produce local content. RT is the parent company of the Ruptly video agency,[5] which owns the Redfish video channel and the Maffick digital media company.[6][7]

RT has regularly been described as a major propaganda outlet for the Russian government and its foreign policy.[2] Academics, fact-checkers, and news reporters (including some current and former RT reporters) have identified RT as a purveyor of disinformation[58] and conspiracy theories.[64] UK media regulator Ofcom has repeatedly found RT to have breached its rules on impartiality, including multiple instances in which RT broadcast "materially misleading" content." 

From Wikipedia

I have a real hard time believing that Ayn Rand would see either Mitt Romney or Paul Ryan as Libertarians today especially since both Governor Romney and Representative Ryan both believe in some form of a safety net. 

Apparently according to Thom Hartmann, if you don't subscribe to his brand of big government socialism, you are selfish. Thats basically what he says in this editorial, that anyone who believes that the wealthy shouldn't have to pay high taxes, you are selfish and part of some type of "Me Society". 

Mr. Hartmann goes from attacking libertarianism when it comes to the economy, to speaking in favor of socialism, thats it's the job of government to take from the wealthy and spread that money around, so its more evenly divided throughout the economy. And not take from the rich and directly give it to the poor but have the Federal Government take that money from the rich and use it to take care of the poor. Not use it to empower the poor but literally take care of them. Which is a classical Socialist notion, that there should be such thing, as wealthy, middle or poor people, that we are all equal and its the job of government to bring this about.
