I have no empirical evidence to prove it, but right now it seems, most people are not out spending, hiring, consuming because they are not happy with the leadership or path of government. The fact that our leaders are not listening to, or doing anything about, any of the issues facing average Americans, adds into it as well.
So since I, as an average American, being ignored by my ‘leaders’ I still have an option that is available to me to do my part to institute change. I can choose to NOT be a part of perpetuating this madness. I can sit and accumulate my wealth, and spend it on what I feel is necessary, and not listen to this clown college we call an administration.
Since it is the conservative money that government needs to keep giving away (since your typical liberal takes more than they give), I will do my part to starve the beast. Nancy Pelosi can stomp her feet all she wants, and whine that we need to “get to the podium and say something!!”, the time for talk is done.
It’s action time. Or more to the point, inaction time.
The leftists in the gov’t are looking for an opportunity to crack down on any action that we take to oppose them, or to fight back.
I like your “silent strike” tactic. It gives them nothing to focus on and use the force of government against, but it totally resists their efforts.
