I’m pissed off big time. I am done with talk radio and I am done with several other things.

As of today, I will no longer be tipping anyone.....If Obama is going to redistribute my money, well, I am going to do what little I can to keep more of my money.....Not tipping is just about the only thing I can think of right now.

What other changes is everyone going to make?

I’m replying to every solicitation for a donation with a polite note saying “Go ask Obama for money, I’m fresh out”.

I will reply in their own envelope so they pay the postage.

I will also minimize every penny I spend that could cause me to contribute to the gov’t coffers. Earn nothing. Spend nothing. Donate nothing.

I’m shrugging.

Don’t buy Martha Stewart stuff. I am not sure if it was on Cavuto show that she said we should just suck it in when Cavuto pointed out the higher taxes some will have to pay under an obama administration.
Okay, more taxes, less money to spend, so boycott martha stewart.

No purchases of big-ticket, taxable items. Increasing the number of my exemptions and sheltering more income from taxes. Doing business with individuals on a cash or barter basis. No charitable donations (sending their solicitations back with a "get your money from Obomba" note). Limiting purchases to the basics (food, clothing shelter). For the first time, becoming a firearm owner.

Politically, all I can do is urge the Senate to filibuster everything, and I mean everything (nominations, legislation, resolutions, whatever) Oscumbum sends up. Undermine everything Obomba tries to do. Belittle everything he does. Make fun of him and his supporters. IOW, do everything the libs have done to us and Bush these last eight years. See how they like it.

Don’t be a jerk. Stiffing some little waitress who is actually working to provide you a service is wrong. It’s not her fault that you’re upset about the election. It doesn’t make a point, it doesn’t help anyone. It’s pointless and mean.

Well, I can think of several things off the top of my head: not only eliminate tipping, but restaurants and fast food places altogether. Give the Obamaniacs a preview of where they have taken themselves. I hate sandwiches, but what is coming is a lot worse.

No more entertainment of any kind: movies, sports, shows... the winners can use their "shared wealth" to keep them afloat.

I am going to to arrange for income just above the minimum level to survive, and see how long it takes the $200,000 "millionaire" tax to get down to reach me again.

And I am sure I will find a few more constructive ways to speed up the inevitable self-destruct.

To pay for all of the gimme programs I see much higher taxes. You tax me more, I get a tighter grip on my money.
I won’t tip as much.
I cut down on amount I give to charity.
I don’t go out to eat as much.
I don’t go to movies(i stopped going about a year ago)
I do more for myself and stop using someone to mow my yard.
I do more home projects myself.
I don’t travel as much.
I cut back on services of all types.
I will save as much as I can and those in the service industry will miss some of my money. Millions more will do the same. These are the things people do during hard financial times.

Changes such as these lead to the loss of jobs and cutbacks in the service industry. Many will wonder why they were let go from their jobs. Many in the service industry are in the age bracket that was totally brain washed and wanting this magical change. The change is coming but I doubt it is what they really expect.
