As it appears that Obama has won this election, following Fox News calling both Ohio and PA for him, I think it is now time for the businessmen and women who run this country to make it quite clear what the consequences are to those people who sold out their freedom for empty promises.
Small business owners, your taxes are now going to be raised. You now will face the difficult choice of either cutting your costs by laying people off, or by passing the increased costs of taxation on to your customers. This time I want you to take the time to tell that laid off employee exactly why he has lost his job. Tell him that the Obama tax increase has forced you to take his salary and give it to "the middle class". If he protests that he is part of the middle class, then explain that he should make good use of the $500 he sold his vote for, because it cost him his job.
For the manufacturers: When you move your production facilities overseas because the US has the second highest corporate income taxes in the world, make sure your workers understand that their Union is mostly to blame, and they should go talk to them about why it was a good idea to vote for the guy who would make all union votes public.
For your customers: Explain that the price of your product has gone up because of your taxes being increased, and because the rising price of oil from keeping the caribou happy has forced you to charge them more. Tell them you tried inflating your tires, but unfortunately it did not put any more gasoline in your tank.
Consumers: When you go shopping, and are considering buying a high ticket item, when you change your mind, make sure that they know that if you had only kep that extra 3% of your salary.... the "chump change", you could have bought their item.
In short: It is time for us all to become John Galt.
Make them understand that capitalism requires capital, and unfortunately Obama gave the capital you needed to somebody who was more deserving than them.
Ask them how it feels to be "rich".
Tell them that you are sure they will be OK, because Obama told them it would be so.
Ask them how they are enjoying their "Change", and if they have any more "Hope" for the future.

Please add me to the ping list
Semi-off-topic but relevant in a self-sufficiency kind of way: one of my favorite websites to waste time on is www.instructables.com, where one can find a how-to on just about anything imaginable, from reloading shells to growing an indoor garden to making furniture. A bit on the leftist/poor-struggling-student side, but a treasure trove of good information.
This one is easy.
They have guns and are perfectly happy to use them.
This is the main difference between them and us. They will send armed federal agents to your house if you don't feed the beast and will kill you without compunction if you resist.
Might makes right in a "democracy".
Add me to the Shrugged pinglist if you would please.
“Start a bunch of small businesses, deal with each other as much as possible, thereby strengthening, or at least helping, each make it through the coming bad times. 10,000 people kicking 10-25 dollars a month could start some small at home businesses. Map it out what would be needed.”
Interesting.
I like it.
I’ve wondered how they snatched up all the gas stations.
Please add me to the ping list! TYVM
Would you mind adding me, too? Thanks.
You can REALLY cut down on your entertainment budget with a capture card:
- Hauppauge PVR-350 capture card (example)
- DVD burner
- Sage TV DVR software
And then capture and burn off cable whenever something strikes your fancy. Sage TV pulls down the listings for free up to two weeks out. See something you like? Click, record. Queue up as many as you want. You’ll find your hard drives filling up faster than you can burn your movies to DVD, but that’s a good kind of pain...
Please add me to the Atlas Shrugged ping list.
Thank You
eBay is a GREAT resource for car parts...if your ride isn’t something obscure, you can keep it running indefinitely for a tiny fraction of what a new one costs...and NOTHING GOES TO THE DEM UNIONS!
Doesn’t that make you feel better now? One of my cars is a 1987 and it’s in like-new condition. Detroit won’t be seeing a cent from me, ever.
“You know it is really kinda funny to read this, but what you’re talking about sounds a lot like what the “useful idiots” are talking about. Primitive Sustainable Development.
I’m not sure that is really the direction we should be going in?”
It is not all the organic gardening and Birkenstock crowd. Look up www.backwoodshome.com, for example. There are people out there who grow their own wheat and reload their own ammo.
If you’re not using rechargeable NiMH batteries, you should be. The technology is quite mature at this point.
I think this is a great idea!
Whoever is doing a ping list...please add my name!
Add me too
Could we maybe be something else? Pleeeeease? I really don’t want to be what it was.
