> your moral system will be different enough from most people to make you the minority position.

I hope you’re right about this, but in my experience many folks in the US harbor a puritanical sense of justice in which people have what they have because they deserve it (i.e. poor people are poor because they deserve to be, and wealthy people are wealthy because they deserve to be). To be clear, I vehemently disagree with this sentiment but I have encountered it enough to wonder whether it’s the majority opinion.

For the sake of my own sanity, if nothing else, I am going to choose to believe that this isn't the majority opinion. I don't think Objectivism is quite that popular.
