B-Chan misses the point. To “go Galt” means to stop producing. When the real producers stop producing or dramatically slow down, there is not much in the way of income taxes due. Many have already “gone Galt” and many more will do so in the next few years. As John Galt did, most of us fly under the radar.
Ah, so it's a question of degree. I thought "going Galt" meant refusing to participate in any immoral economic activity, to refuse to live one's life for the sake of another. Now I see that you can be a real Randian without going all the way to the Gulch -- just "dramatically slow down" your output a bit (and post a bunch of bull on the Internet) and you can relax behind your impenetrable force field, your Objectivist hymen intact.
Well, count me in. I have just decided to "go Galt" by not reporting the $40.50 in loose change I saved up in my Keroro bank over the past three months. That'll show those altruists in Washington who drives the motor of the world!
