I think many people read Rand all wrong. I found large elements of satire in Atlas and Fountainhead. Like Orwell in Animal Farm, she created a silly cartoon version of the world with its dynamics hugely out or proportion in order to bring out the subtle absurdities of modern life and government.
You're not supposed to read it and decided to move to the mountains of Colorado. You're supposed to read it and then have a fresh look at some of the dynamics that are going on around you and wonder if some change is in order.
