Why work? If you work, then you have to pay taxes against your will for programs you don’t support initiated by people for whom you didn’t vote. Since the society has decided to vote itself bread and circuses, why not just opt out and refuse to pay for the circuses by not earning taxable income?? Life is too dear to waste it working to pay for other people to enjoy a life of leisure.

I quit//retired before the election. I was a day trader for 13 years, put my own money at stake every day. Couple of months ago my brother who hasn’t worked in about 3 years called me. He has a verifiable illness and has been waiting to get on social security disability. He also has 6 rentals and lives in a house that he paid cash for but has no verifiable income. So he got sick and went to the hospital after which he called me bragging that he now has Obamacare and gets to go to the best doctors.
I got so angry I did not work another day. My husband and I pay almost $1000 a month for all our insurances plus we pay major taxes all year and have to write them a check in April. I said no more, Obama is not getting any more than I have to give him.

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.
