It is now time for Atlas to Shrug...

As it appears that Obama has won this election, following Fox News calling both Ohio and PA for him, I think it is now time for the businessmen and women who run this country to make it quite clear what the consequences are to those people who sold out their freedom for empty promises.

Small business owners, your taxes are now going to be raised. You now will face the difficult choice of either cutting your costs by laying people off, or by passing the increased costs of taxation on to your customers. This time I want you to take the time to tell that laid off employee exactly why he has lost his job. Tell him that the Obama tax increase has forced you to take his salary and give it to "the middle class". If he protests that he is part of the middle class, then explain that he should make good use of the $500 he sold his vote for, because it cost him his job.

For the manufacturers: When you move your production facilities overseas because the US has the second highest corporate income taxes in the world, make sure your workers understand that their Union is mostly to blame, and they should go talk to them about why it was a good idea to vote for the guy who would make all union votes public.

For your customers: Explain that the price of your product has gone up because of your taxes being increased, and because the rising price of oil from keeping the caribou happy has forced you to charge them more. Tell them you tried inflating your tires, but unfortunately it did not put any more gasoline in your tank.

Consumers: When you go shopping, and are considering buying a high ticket item, when you change your mind, make sure that they know that if you had only kep that extra 3% of your salary.... the "chump change", you could have bought their item.

In short: It is time for us all to become John Galt.

Make them understand that capitalism requires capital, and unfortunately Obama gave the capital you needed to somebody who was more deserving than them.

Ask them how it feels to be "rich".

Tell them that you are sure they will be OK, because Obama told them it would be so.

Ask them how they are enjoying their "Change", and if they have any more "Hope" for the future.

Ok. I have crafted a note. I have printed it on Avery 2”x4” mailing labels, 10 per 8.5x11 inch sheet. Any charitable solicitation I get in the mail — alumni stuff from the schools I attended that went Liberal, feed the hungry, CARE, UNICEFF any commie stuff, anything I’m not inclined to support — I will simply peel a label off and stick it on the response sheet and mail it back. The label says this:

I regret I am no longer able to financially support your worthy cause. I have been labeled “wealthy” by Barack Hussein Obama and have been singled out for increased taxes and other punishments for my success. This makes it impossible for me to respond to solicitations such as yours anymore. The good news for you is that Obama, a Marxist, has promised to spread my money around. In the future, send your solicitations directly to him at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington DC 20500.

I have printed 60 labels and can’t wait to get home and check my junk mail!!!! Feel free to join in!

Somebody PM me and explain how this Ping List thing works.

Very simple. Whenever a thread is posted which pertains to the Atlas Shrugged concept, someone will let me know and I will ping the list by putting the names of those on the list in the To: box. That way everyone interested can join in the discussion.
