For quite a while I have been considering going Galt. This election is a tipping point for me. I live on PA and things are not getting better. But living in PA isn't the entire problem. There has been a progressive assault on freedom and liberty in our nation for decades.
Are there others considering going Galt or off the grid?
Many have already. Going galt doesn’t have to be the same degree for everyone, the whole point is lowering your profile and reducing income as much, paying in as little as possible, up to what you are comfortable doing.
How is another story, but I don't plan on just blithely accepting a corrupt government's claim on my time and enterprise.
The government will just track the messages. I’m slightly interested, but I need to tell someone some things that may determine my future.
Go Galt? Fuck it. I’m getting on the free shit bandwagon.
Me too! If Sallie Mae keeps bothering me, they can go get a bailout from Obama.
I’m done. I did everything I was supposed to do to achieve “the American Dream”, and I got hosed thanks to decades of class warfare and identity politics.
Let the system collapse, and have their messiah unmasked for the fraud he is.

I don’t think we’ll have to wait long.
3000 jobs in Texas just today... Gone.
Biggest Dow drop all year long TODAY.
Already multiple reports of layoffs that were gagged before the election...
and many many more to come as businesses across America actually do “Go Galt”
It's possible to do both in a hybrid partial fashion.
I’m in Pa as well. To the degree anyone can - it’s an easy passive way to starve the beast. I started today by asking my doc who he voted for. Political affiliation isn’t a protected class. He responded correctly so I will allow him to be the one to bill my insurance company for services rendered.
You guys can quit if you want. But 2014 is coming. There’s only one question: Who will answer the call?
I have been here since 1998. I worked security at the FreeRepublic March for Justice. I have been to DC multiple times to protest against Clinton with freepers. Yeah, we lost a few times but we ultimately won in 2000. We won because we never stopped fighting. And it was just in time because 9/11/2001 was coming. Who remembers that day? Did you want to quit? Did you want to surrender? Did you want to go “Galt” on us when the terrorists attacked? The people on that plane said “Let’s Roll”, not “Let’s Roll Over”.
We’ll survive this like we have always survived. We trained for the next fight. I have been on the front lines with freepers who have lost their lives. What the Hell would we say to them? Oh Chief Negotiator, we’re scared? Oh Harpseal, it’s too hard. Oh Militiaman7, what if we get hurt? Oh Ladyx, I’m tired. Oh Congressman Billybob, we’ll never win. Oh BCM, do I have to do it?
Who will fight with us? Who will fight for 2014? Who will fight for America? Who will ride to the rescue of Lady Liberty?

PING damn you PING
That’s the fastest way to end this lunacy...collapse it under its own weight.

Live one day at a time. Serve your neighbors (family and those outside). Current affairs are not as dire as we tend to make them out to be, and even if they were, this life and politics is not all there is. You’ve got a lot to offer - more than you think. You’re not alone!! I suggest refraining from any immediate big decisions unless your local circumstance absolutely demand it.
I’m not all that familiar with what “Going Galt” means. I suspect it means dropping off the radar, as it were. That probably describes 80% of the Untited State population, inasmuch as they just don’t care about this stuff like you and I do.
Make no mistake about it, we still live in a country that is blessed beyond belief when it comes to natural resources and heritage. Today’s politcal milieu points to an uptick in terms of incivility, so it is incumbent upon us to work with our neighbors to maintain and instill more of it.
God bless you!
Gone.
Already gone. It’s been working out very well the last 4 years. Non-essential spending is at a minimum. Immediate family gatherings have increased. Philosophies of freedom and faith are discussed regularly and grow stronger. Everybody is working and receiving awards/raises/accolades. Everyone is trained for using firearms. We are healthy, cohesive, coherent and have never been stronger. Life in this collective of family and friends is FANTASTIC!
We have DEFUNDED socialist collectives, spoken out against BIG GOVERNMENT socialism/totalitarianism and DEPOPULATED socialists/liberals/progressives/liars/deceivers/totalitarians/parasites from our lives and voted against them in our government.
Life, health, liberty, preparedness BUMP!

DEFUND the beast. It will collapse. REBUILD. We’ve have a template for governance...

I agree but it’s not bad or painful enough. DEFUND it. (we’ve had 4 years to prepare). If you haven’t prepared...start today and DEFUND it while you’re preparing. Protect yourself and your family. Let the useful idiots try to prop it up with the EBT cards.
It’s easy. It’s the socialism, stupid. Explain it to them after...It’s the (socialists) economy, stupid. There is nothing we the prepared, we the productive can do to fix it.
There are small battles every day in the big war. Seize the day. Every day.
Living large, loving life

WOOOHOOOO, generally!

It’s really EASY.
Pappy,
These people are not talking about quitting. “Atlas Shrugged” is about a recognition that your taxes and talents are being used against you, and by people who cannot even really feed themselves without your help.
There is no mystical hideout in Colorado to go to, so I expect most Galters to be around fighting. They just know what their greatest weapon is.
Best to you.
lol... I might not put it exactly the way you just did, but that’s what I’ve been thinking ever since last night. How many government programs are there? Sign me up.

I went Galt three years ago. Upping the anti this morning, I bought a 2000 gallon fuel tank to be delivered tomorrow. All of our vehicles and tractors are diesel.
