Have you even read Ayn Rand? No, perhaps the implication that you haven't is too harsh. Try reading her "Philosophy: Who needs it?" collection of essays and lectures. If you can't bear to read the whole thing, she has an entire chapter on why she believes Kant and his cronies to be completely off the mark.
By the way, the term "objectivism" is a reaction to the "subjectiveism" of the philosophers you named. Her metaphysics and epistemiological view are the polar opposites of those espoused by Kant, Hegel and Hume. If you haven't read her work, what on earth would posess you to comment on it. And if you cannot tell the difference between the philosophy expoused by Kant and that underlying Ayn Rand's work, perhaps you ought to reexamine both authors and your interest in philosophy.
