Speaking of Loughner's left wing influences: The Fascist New Frontier Ayn Rand delivered this lecture at the Ford Hall Forum in Boston in 1962 "We ask that the government undertake the obligation above all providing citizens with adequate opportunity for employment and earning a living" "The activities of the individual must not be allowed to clash with the interests of the community, but must take place within its confines and be for the good of all. Therefore, we demand…an end to the power of the financial interest" "We demand profit for sharing in big business." "We demand a broad extension of care for the aged." "We demand…the greatest possible consideration of small business in the purchases of the national, state, and municipal governments." "In order to make possible to every capable and industrious [citizen] the attainment of higher education and this the achievement of a post of leadership, the government must provide an all-around enlargement of our entire system of public education…We demand the education at government expense of gifted children of poor parents…" "[We] combat the…materialistic spirit within and without us, and are convinced that a permanent recovery of our people and can only proceed from within on the foundation of "The Common Good Before the Individual Good," Do you agree with this program and with its over-all intention and spirit? Would you be prepared to say that it is a fine, progressive, liberal program? Observe that all of its proposals are being advocated and most of them have been enacted into law in this country. Ladies and gentlemen, these proposals are from the program of the National Socialist (Nazi) Party of Germany, adopted in Munich, on February 24, 1920.
