I'm looking at the Philippines as my Galt's Gulch. Is anyone else out there seeking a sanctuary?

If I worked any less than what I do now, I’d be dead.

I’ve been going Galt. I buy only food and the occasional box of ammo.

Very much so. However... The Philipenes?

SeriouslsY?

I thought the best bet (albeit not that great) was either Australia or New Zealand.

Start a small business from home and write off every thing you can. Lots of handy things can be written off as business expenses. If everyone maximized this it would starve the beast!

I'm not leaving the country, just the rat race and the big city. I want to be close enough to watch the festivities as the Democrats learn (again) that tax revenues can go down when tax rates are increased. I'm downsizing, paying off debt, spending less, working a little and playing a lot. I'm self-employed, so I can work at whatever level I desire, especially after living slightly below my means for the last 35 years.

I won't be much of a government mule for Obama.

WEll, isn’t that what all the 60’s commies did? Take the welfare or government teaching jobs & plot revolution? Do you know the way to Galt’s Gulch?

Going Galt - great idea.

We all need to do what we can to defeat socialism.

I refuse to be the obamanation’s ATM. After spending over 20 years as a military officer I finally hit the the jackpot in my own business in the real marketplace. I am debt free, own a few assets and have my military pension. I employ about ten girls and I bring home a lot more than than hussein’s wealthy definition. My wife and I are used to living on a whole lot less than 250k so it will not be a problem for me to cut back to that level. I have already told my staff that I may be cutting back on work. They understand what that means. I hate to lay off these folks, I really hate to do it. OTOH I am approaching 60 and I don’t feel like it is my responsibility to support a socialist economy. I am working harder than I ever have so I don’t mind taking more time off to travel and work in my garden. Working hard is not my goal, making a lot of money to prepare for my retirement is. Working hard to prop up a socialist tyrant was never in my plans.

Two acquaintances who have owned their own business for a long time pulled all their money out of their brokerage accounts the day after the election. They’re a smart couple and have worked very hard to accumulate what they have. Now they’re working even harder to preserve it and to avoid having it redistributed to those who did nothing to earn it.
