Just hit this bit and it sums up where Rand and I fundamentally diverge.
'By their own statement, you must support them because they cannot survive without you.'
To force a person to support you, to force them into the furnace or the basement (Omelas makes this argument quite succinctly in about 570000 less words) is an obscenity.
To give support as a gift -- to give support to one's loved one -- is not.

"His voice had the single toned flatness and the luminous simplicity of an accountant who reminds a reckless purchaser that cost is an absolute which cannot be escaped."

Rand is attacking a strawman.
What about love? I don't mean hangers-on. I don't mean need (you know, if you've read Lewis, the need-love and the gift-love and whatnot). I mean just love. "I love you; although you are causing me grief just at this moment I love you; I hope for better clines ahead" love?
