I agree with you, but it is not going to happen.
Really, with a guy like Boehner it could well happen. Of course, Boehner will be doing it for other reasons but in my mind as long as he serves my purpose he is the right tool for the job (and I do mean tool).
Cloward/Piven the government. Burden it with it’s own weight until it collapses.

Christmas gift need to stop. Think of how much you spend each year on family, friends and relatives on gifts that, for the most part, are not needed....
Sure, give to the small kids in the family, but everyone else? put them on notice now... “I will not be exchanging gifts this year - please don’t buy anything for me either”
Spend the time saved on cooking great meals for the holidays and baking - old school....Decorate as usual(with what you already have on hand) - make something to give, etc. but stop your seasonal retail boost to the economy.
No Christmas except for the kids has been the rule around here for many years. We do have a huge open house on Christmas Eve for friends and family. Drinks, tamales, rice and beans. I actually like it so much better than when we all exchanged gifts. The funny thing is I expected some push back. Didnt get it. Everyone loves it and our house is full of friends, family, and laughter on Christmas Eve.
Agree with you, FRANKR and the writer of this column. We need the ignorant and the dumb and the arrogant liberals (who happen to be richer than most of us working folk), to feel the pain, because pain is often the only thing than can wake up a numb mind.
My body is full of pain, so I listen to it. If I didn’t, I’d be as delusional and stupid as most Democrats (except for those who can afford to buy serious painkillers).
I feel for the less fortunate (those who suffer through no fault of their own), and I’ll try to help them with my reduced income (Jan. 1, 40% taxes on Dividends in my retirement portfolio).
Higher insurance rates are killing me as sure as the cardiac arrest did 3 years ago. Pretty soon the choice will be between having insurance or replacing my 15 year old car with 206,000 miles on it.
Oh, my company just stopped contributing to our 401K Plan. That was one important part of my retirement planning. This is going to hurt too.
I’ve got more than my share of pain. Hey, libs, have I got a gift for you.
Imagine conservatives not allowing their federal tax deduction to be taken from their paycheck for a month...........it would crush the government and maybe then they would realize red states really do exist.
Count me in too. I learned a long time ago that you can’t make a horse drink the water if he doesnt want to. We’ve tried to reason with idiots with block walls for heads about the out-of-control spending and the upcoming financial cliff but they just ignore us. Now that the dems run 2/3 of govt., they will OWN the financial collapse that is inevitable. Let it burn.
Fine, I will not debate that the GOP-e is clueless. My point was that they acted as useful idiots to allow Obama to insulate himself from the consequences of his policies. Nobody is feeling the pain from those policies so why should they care? It is time to stop telling the voters about the pain and let them experience it. We stand in the way of Obama inflicting it and for what? So they can turn on us. No thanks.
And one other note, until the media is dealt with harshly we will be losers forever. The media needs to be exposed. I want to know everything about them, where they eat, who they are boinking, where their kids go to school and if they are in trouble. You know, I want to know everything about the media that they want to know about our candidates and our voters.
Not to worry, the media will paint us as being at fault no matter what. That is what alludes the Crying Speaker. No matter what he does, he is screwed. Might as well throw care to the wind and take a bold new tack. Spread the Pain to the fence sitters. The ignorant and envious are already gone.
I’ve been thinking this same thing for over 4 years now.
My wife and I just this morning were discussing changing our withholding to zero and putting it into our savings account every pay period and paying what we owe on April 15th. We see no reason to continue giving the government interest-free loans every other week throughout the year.
We are going to have a talk with our adult children: its going to be a Going Galt Christmas. Not only do we want to hoard our $$$ now, we also don't want to contribute any sales tax.
Go Galt
I agree about the charity. Give to your church, help out your family and neighbors, but don’t give a dime to any other charity. Tell them you gave at the office.
Spread the Pain. In government they trust, then government they get!!!
Open the borders, let the tax cuts expire, and let Obamacare go full speed ahead. Damn the torpedoes...the people want socialist government, let’s give it to them.
