My ALL TIME FAV book is Atlas Shrugged. I like the teachings of Ayn Rand, but don't agree with all of them. But even so, Atlas Shrugged is a masterpiece of her Objectivism Philosophy.

Yep. Greatest book ever written. I cannot think of a book worth reading by everyone in America more than this one.

"If you take the time to re-read Atlas Shrugged, you’ll find it eerily predicted events that are actually happening in our country today. Did you ever think government would own a majority of General Motors, and have the power to name its chairman or chief executive officer? Did you ever believe we’d have a “pay czar”—setting compensation levels for corporate executives?"

It does paint a near perfect picture of our present times and what lies ahead. Ayn Rand is my favorite Author and Philosopher. What people should realize is that she grew up in Soviet Russia, thus she understands fully what Communism is and how a country ends up there.

Another great book by her to read is The Fountainhead. This is just about is awesome as Atlas Shrugged, however is should be read second imo because Atlas paints the full picture of government intervention. Then a good short read of hers is Anthem. That one is similar to George Orwell's 1984, in that it depicts the future as totalitarian rule.
