Paul1405 said- "The family have had great success in fund raising for a Te Puna Reo, a pre-school for handicapped children, in Kaikohe NZ. With our nephew and his wife donating a house, their son Mungzy will be one of the first to make use of the new facility, and with $900K from the NZ government the 'Mungzython' has raised nearly $100k, and the Te Puna Reo is a reality, now well advanced and will be opening soon. "

Answer- Atlas Shrugged talked about the schools for the little slum children and lace curtains in every window- because they can't be expected to work when they're in a bad environment- because it's bad for their delicate feelings.

“I told you about her, I told you many times, but you never remember anything I say. Mrs. Beacham was so anxious to meet you, but she had to leave after dinner, she couldn’t wait, Mrs. Beacham is a very busy person. She wanted so much to tell you about the wonderful work we’re doing in our parish school, and about the classes in metal craftsmanship, and about the beautiful wrought-iron doorknobs that the little slum children are making all by themselves.”
It took the whole of his sense of consideration to force himself to answer evenly, “I’m sorry if I disappointed you, Mother.”

Henry Rearden didn't care about the wrought-iron doorknobs because the children should be learning about how to make money not make an irrelevant product that no one wants. Make something that sustains life.

The book Atlas Shrugged (Ayn Rand) talks about putting feelings before production is putting the cart before the horse- as good feelings come from good production. When people try to fake the good feelings that come as a result of production they are doomed. Production involves pain- but with practice it becomes more bearable.

Production has become corporatized and offshored- little wonder life has become meaningless for many people- needing to fill their lives with fluff- denied their productive capacity by governments that engage in managerial policies as James Burnham predicted- every action having it's own bureaucracy till movement becomes palsied and spastic.

As John Galt says "get out of our way"

Many handicapped people are more willing to get in there and do productive work than normal people- because they aren't weighed down by their disabling beliefs and systems.

In ancient Japan people were paid in "daily portions of rice" so you knew how long you could survive without being productive- you don't produce you die. Rich Dad Poor Dad says similar. Most have forgotten this simple fact- probably because males are usually the main bread winners in the animal kingdom- and western males have lost their role in the family in the so called "modern age"- possibly caused by counter culture revolutions in the Afro-American communities of San Francisco California.

If the community is productive everyone benefits even the out-group.

If the community is raising money for their community fine- but the NZ government should be using tax payers money for the tax payers not for a special interest group.
