They'll be paying most of the taxes and most of the alimony along with their student loans. Good luck to them.

Former Newsweek editor Evan Thomas made a bizarre statement on PBS's Inside Washington Friday.
"Unexplored story of the year: white men dropping out - dropping out of the workforce, dropping out of elections, just plain dropping out, getting social security, not doing anything, going hunting, fishing, just not in the game" (video follows with transcript and commentary, file photo):

Except for the election thing, is this guy watching me?
I call it going Galt with a little Clowerd and Pivin overwhelming the system thrown in.
If Pelosi and the Bolshies hadn’t destroyed the economy in ‘07 I wouldn’t have anything to do with them. As it is, they destroyed my livelihood, they can now pay for me. And, no matter how dependent I am on them, I will never vote for them.
Well when you don’t feed your horses..
The pigs are running things and the poor horse (Napoleon?) is working his heart out while everyone else rides in the cart til he has enough and up and dies on them.
lol. Been a long time since I seen that. Gonna have to look it up again.
Sheesh. Must be starting New Years too early.
Thanks. I wouldn’t want Yankees either and will fully understand that I am tolerated and on probation. I will put my share in the collection plate, tip my hat, and will disable my horn. It was a Blake Shelton song that made me realize I gotta get out of here.
I said Screw it 4 years ago! Live on what I get and I’m not working for the 47% that do not want to!
Screw Em!
Yup. Get back what you paid in.
Ayn Rand is for corn pone brothers.
Even a Daily Beast pig finds an acorn once in a while...
I ain't been letting the moss grow though. Been working those four years trying to figure out how to start an Internet business. Finally got a start at it. Earned $2k this year. Wanna really hammer it next year.
But of course, there's Uncle Sugar there with his hand out for that now.
They seem to think that all $$$ earned belongs to them except what they in the graciousness of their vile little hearts they ALLLOW us to keep.
All our money is money that they simply haven't gotten around to confiscating and either squandering or redistributing.
God I've learned to hate govt.
Now that the best story I’ve read on here in a long time! Way to go, Mom. I’ll bet you and your husband are really proud of him. :O)
I am indeed proud of him. It takes a certain amount of character to get up at 3 on a cold, crappy morning, hike into the woods, and sit freezing in a tree or next to a pond for hours, or all day. Not to be able to stick a set of antlers on the wall (not that there’s anything wrong with that) but to feed his loved ones. That is a more primal activity than logging onto your online bank account and noting an autodeposit of a check he never even saw.
Where I’m going with this is that the original article was discussing men who had dropped out of the workforce. I just wish more of them could deal with this by returning to more traditional ways of supporting themselves and their families—farming, hunting, fishing, gardening, raising stock. Gosh, if they did that, maybe this country could actually return to normalcy, to secure homes and solid, intact families where children are well-supervised and respect their parents.
And Good luck to you! It will be nice to better define my destiny.
Been doing this for years.
Make as little money as possible...No more. Make just enough to get by...Purchase as little as possible...Fix/repair your own stuff...F the investments which usually back fire in your face anyway....Live frugal lives...Don't play the game....
Stay away from the machine, which only wants to take, tax and seize what you have...
Except for the election part, pretty much describes me....and by Nov. 2014, I may drop out of our corrupt election system as well.
Our looter government officials and their moocher clientel should have thought about this old adage:
“Be careful what you wish for in this world, for if you wish hard enough you are sure to get it.”
When all the industrious white people go Galt how will the liberals have their beloved ‘Diversity’?
163 acres on a river out west ... good retirement ... divorced now thank God, she never wanted to be far from a 7-11 Slurpee machine ... I spend the day re-loading .308’s [bought a another .308 today in fact] and my new 338 Lapua ammo for Savage ... sit on the deck and hit hogs [Russian boars] heirloom seed garden, chickens, I dunno about horses just yet ... big pain in the ass I hear ... orchard 10 acres or so including the zinfandel vineyard oh yeah my brandy still and wood fired hot tub ...
