Neither Jimbo nor Objectivism have a problem with charity.
Of course not - how can you have a problem with something you never even think about? However, charity does have a problem with
them.QUOTE(anthony @ Mon 30th August 2010, 11:24pm)

How would Rand have felt about someone falsely using the ideas of altruism and charity to exploit people and pursue one's own self-interest?
She probably would have said that was impossible.
Again, correct - since Rand considered altruism and charity to be false concepts in and of themselves, Rand probably would have considered it impossible to "use them falsely." That would be sort of a double-negative, I guess.
