My US lawyer drives a fancy Porsche. Start resenting professionals spending their $ the way they want, and people will start to quote Ayn Rand. ;-)

I have no problem with them spending it.
I worry about how and whether they earn it, especially when I have comparatively nothing to say about it. I can negotiate a fee with an attorney. When I'm in the ER with a heart attack, I can't talk about fees so I'm at the mercy of the MD's integrity or lack of it.

Yes, I noted that AR got back into the story!

I noted that Paul Ryan (your namesake in Wisconsin) has recently distanced himself from AR.
He said that she had influenced his economic ideas at one time but since he's a devout Catholic, he totally rejects Objectivism.
