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):

Evan, please name ONE major invention, improvement or program from the wheel to the moon rocket & aeroplane, from the abacus to the computer, from hybrid corn to the microwave oven, from the syringe to the cat scanner, that wasn’t put there by a white or Asian male. I’ll wait.

Cashed in all CDs today and moved to savings accounts

Money Markets closed out today and into savings accounts

Now pulling out in $9,000 increments so I do not have to fill out those nasty government papers for over 10K withdrawls

All Money out of the banking system....

Cash into safe and all purchases cash from here on out as much as possible

Have enough food stored away for myself and wife to last a year or more.

2013 will be buy only what I need to survive.

STARVE the FERAL Government BEAST

[thecodont]

He feels proud of himself by contributing in this visible, substantial way, more so than by getting a puny paycheck; it taps into something deep in the psychology of the male. There is real value for a man in really, not metaphorically, "bringing home the bacon" for his loved ones.

So true!

You are justifiably proud of him. :D

[Lancey Howard]

This scumbag rat Thomas may be onto something... Who could blame white men for going Galt? Maybe some of us are sick up to here with paying the freight for the Democrat party’s moocher base.

[peeps36]

I think some of this has to do with the lack of good paying blue collar jobs in the obama economy. My local newspaper has about three columns of help wanted adds in the Sunday edition. It use to have two pages of adds before the current socialist regime took over. It must really suck to be a young high school graduate just starting their adult life. There are very few good opportunities.

[ProudFossil]

Best way to the undermine the Kenyan’s communist coup is still to go John Galt.

So what about this idea?

I am 74 years old, almost deaf, poor balance, benign prostitus(?), need glasses, going bald, impotent, poor complexion, and overweight. Should I apply for a disability income also? Instead of starving the beast, feast on it.

Yea get what ya can

[Pollster1]

As a former election pollster, former employer of over 50 productive workers, former taxpayer, I am happy to be over 50 and able to retire in comfort. If Obama, Pelosi, and Reid want to turn my country into a socialist people’s paradise, they can’t have my productivity to fund their evil. I’ll be back when America is again a free country.

[patriotsblood]

We can be found at the local gun range, gettin’ all practiced up.

[familyop]

Like I’ve said, avoid buying anything that you don’t really need. Become more self-sufficient...

[Jeff Vader]

you’re the kind of Yankee we like

[MrBambaLaMamba]

He looks asian and I believe he’s throwing the chow hor fun gang sign.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Welfare is the new slavery. Makers are supporting the takers and their lifestyle.

Let the people with all the answers have a shot at it-—
I ditto that. In a nutshell.

[tflabo]

Here at 56 got a few years left before I go off the grid of sorts. Just paid my year end property taxes and although its Texas (DFW area) I despise paying 55% of the total to the school districts. We have no children so how is that fair? It ain’t but money sucking enforcement by local govt. But when this job or career is over I’m moving to a more rural area where to pay less in taxes to educate children of minority Dem socialist voters.

[Marcella]

“Yes, Going Galt.”

I’m female but I went Galt before I knew about the word “Galt” and what it meant.

[Andy'smom]

You must be very proud of him!

[Farmer Dean]

“A country boy can survive.”
Darn right we can.This coming March,I’m done.Social Security and work the farm.Maybe go fishing and train a few horses too.
