They will print more money and you will have to make more just to survive.
This is not tied to a sales tax so not buying will do nothing.
It's not about the sales tax. It's about sending a message - kind of an SOS - that all is NOT well. Americans are not going on about their lives like they did before, they are counting on us to do that so they can point to any promising indicators in the economy & say, "See, what we're doing is helping."
Of course they will print more money & that will work up to a point, and then it all will start to crash to the ground (like the Soviet Union). Things are going to get real ugly and our lives are not going to go back to being normal for quite some time. I accept this & I'm going to throw out all the dead weight I can in my life, so that I can keep afloat until we can turn things around. I will NOT live my life like I have before, I will not give them the advantage of saying that America is getting back to normal.
In the meantime, we need to keep up the pressure - we all need to think about running for local offices & taking over the system from the ground up. The Tea Parties were great, they saw our numbers & they are having to deal with that - but they are doing what they are intent on doing anyway, so we have to start using some other tactics now to "get their attention". The economy is something that we all "feel", the sheeple will clamor for them to fix things & they won't be able to - come election time, they will take it out on the incumbents. America must be forced to feel our pain, by feeling it themselves. Tough love.
