If we all stopped spending money we don't absolutely need to spend, we could bring the dims more economic trouble then they could ever imagine. No movies, no ballgames, no going out to eat...no spending!
Atlas is Shrugging, big time, at this house!!! I’ve already started my new lifestyle — am making a game of it. If that fool “wins,” we will send a huge message that his policies won’t be tolerated. Not now, not ever.
I am John Galt!
The problem is, half the workforce is made up of Conservatives. Stop buying at your own risk. No sales, no jobs...
It’s the Democrats who believe in destroying the nation to save it. You and I don’t.
I will also barter my services more often.
I like the way you think.
My hatches are pretty well battened down as far as they can go, but I can work on convincing others. :)
yep, I'm out of debt. My work is entirely dependent on productivity... in other words if I don't go in, I don't get paid. I can cover my "nut", live off the rest and just wait it out.
I made a nice little payday when Clinton took office. I bought all the pharmaceutical stocks I could that tanked when Hillary tried to take over healthcare.
It was beautiful. I've been selling on the rallies for the last 3 to 4 years and just sitting on cash. I never "played" the flipping house scam or day trading bs.... just bought stocks and saved cash...
It ain't sexy, but I'm secure. I advise everybody to just hunker down and do what you need to do. Don't let the government dictate what you do, but since most of us on this board are conservatives, we can basically out work and out think the libs. We'll always come out ahead as far as money and security. They depend on a government nipple, we depend on ourselves and family. All you have to do to see what happens if you let the government take care of you.... look at the American Indian or the african-americans, by all means suck on the government nipple.
This might end up to be a moment like just before you go into a little fire fight. We're tough, we can take care of ourselves and what the heck, fighting is fun sometimes.... if we can hurt them by not spending, let's do it. if we can screw them by pulling all of our cash out of a bank... well that might be fun also.
"Good luck, keep your head on a swivel, watch your corners and I'll see ya, when I see ya...."
I’m with you, I have already decided to cut spending drastically if 0bama wins.

A boycott does make sense but what about these welfare recipients? they will be spending the $$ you are talking about
Well, we won’t have the choice. We will have to stop spending. If they are going to dip into the 401K’s spending will absolutely stop.
Why would I work my entire life saving when others bought, staying home when others took wonderful trips if I intended the government to give it to them because they had nothing?
They had nothing because they thought nothing about insurance, saving, planning for rainy days - they did exactly what they wanted when they wanted it. And I am supposed to come in and give my life savings to them to spread the wealth around?
No way.
If it comes to the government getting my 401K - I will spend it myself first. That will not happen. And, I am sure there are many others that will not stand for that.
That money will be gone and I, too, will have to depend on the government to pay for my care in a nursing home, to pay for my meds, everything. I am no longer working and saving.
If I have to pay for everyone - I will be one of everyone and I will no longer give donations to any. Let the government do all of the benevolence.
