Ayn Rand idiots

Blaming the crap economy on Ayn Rand.
I've been hearing for some time about the Ayn Rand school of thought being the downfall of our economy and the reason we're in our current state. The individualism that she touted (from what I remember) has supposedly translated into selfishness and greediness. Now, I'm no Ayn Rand fan but how idiotic are we all to bow and distort her message into greed. Like we need her as an excuse! When the hell did good old fashioned greed for money and power become Ayn Rand's? Those are thousands of years older than her. And please, let's not give her the credit when it's not due. She wrote fiction. Society let alone philosophy owes her squat. Understand it's in our human nature to have self interest. Need it to live. You know this inherently without Ayn or me.
Plus, if you grew up idoilizing Ayn Rand after reading her books in high school, you have your own issues.
I wonder what Ayn would say...I'm almost certain it wouldn't be what these two over educated spaz's are saying:
