Ayn Rand on the government's limited role

Ayn Rand wrote about the government's role too (I think it was Atlas Shrugged or The Fountainhead). She thinks the government should stick to just protecting our rights (no one's messing with freedom, or property). She’s all about a small government - one that only handles police, military, and courts, nothing else. For her, anything more - like interfering in the economy or telling people how to live - is a big no-no. She wants the state out of our lives so we can do our own thing without anyone breathing down our necks. Simple as that!
