I encourage everyone to do the same.
So... “I am John Galt”
I have already told my entire family that we will never set foot again in New Mexico or Colorado. I am sure the earth worshipers living there will be happy to hear that but we will drive around them to Wyoming or Utah and drop our couple grand on a vacation where we share common political ground. Same goes for North Carolina. We will stay on the Tennessee side of the Smokies when we return next year.
Right on, people simply don’t understand the consequences of “taxing the so called rich”.

bump.
Well my wife and I will do our part to further wreck the economy. We decided that our two boys (4 and 2) will get Christmas presents, but nobody else. None for each other, none for relatives, friends, etc. We’ll save about 5-$600.
We just can’t afford it now if we want to save any money. We’ve lost too much in the market.
One of the best vanities I’ve ever read. Thank you!
I encourage everyone to do the same.
Maybe half of the country who voted for McPalin should hold onto their tax money this year.
Democrats have been engaged in a “work and production” slowdown for years in order to crash the economy. All over their blogs. They have driven the economy into the dirt.
We can do the same to them, and drive the Obama Marxist regime into bankruptcy.
Just make the minimum tax bracket that you can afford for 2 years, save, save, save, and make minimal expenditures.
“As it appears that Obama has won this election,”
Reject the premise in hand. Fraudulently Stolen by the largest Democrat vote fraud in history.
Obama outspent McCain 4:1, benefited from voter fraud, and had 9 out of 10 journalists working for his campaign and he didn't win it by a land slide? If any one of those advantages were taken off the table Obama would have been sent home crying back to Indonesia.
The money won't stop now. Voter fraud will now be a constitutional right or something. That leaves one thing: infiltrate the media.
Back in the mid-1990’s a friend of mine, who was an apolitical music reviewer, said that he never saw such intolerance as exhibited by the editor of the college newspaper. The paper was all left-wing prattle. But he also added that they hadn't hired any Republicans as none had applied. In his words “they're all out starting businesses or whatever”. So we make the country work while journalists serve as full time propagandists for the forces of evil.
People have said in this thread that they'll stop doing the hard work and that they'll take a menial job or farm or be a bum. Be a journalist and start informing the public.
We honor, rightly, a young person who joins up and fights for freedom with a gun. We, ourselves, tend to work away at actually adding to the GDP. We don't give a thought to professions that shape public opinion—that is below our pay grade. Yet this Republic, we all know, is to be lost from within, not from without. And it will be lost when people don't know what it is they are losing and who is taking it and when they don't think it is worth fighting for.
So here it is: there is no Galt’s Gulch, and if you shut off your part of the economy then it will go to China or India. Starve the beast? The beast will borrow against your grand children while they nationalize your 401K. Infiltrate the media and start reporting who, what, when, where, and how. Ten serious journalists could have stopped Obama's campagin dead. Stop the post-modern, relativistic prattle and the he-said she-said style of reporting. A sort of, kind of conservative news channel and talk radio is not enough. We need to infiltrate the AP and be the one to file the stories to begin with. We need to buy up local papers and pour a big can of America into them. If you think about it, wasn't that what Mrs. Rand was really doing when she wrote her book—she was informing and influencing people and what, fifty years later, we're here quoting her even though not 1 in 10 here are objectivists or whatever.
Would you or someone else on this thread be interested in this? I suspect we're living in the second half of the book, and those FReepers who have avoided reading it need to understand where we're heading.
it works. People quit driving and look at gas prices now
Nice rant. Thanks for posting this.
