Go Galt Now!
I searched for many threads on "going galt" before posting this, and many were discussing what it means and whether or not we should do it and my answer is YES- AND DO IT NOW!
What it means: A book by Ayn Rand had a character named John Galt, who tossed it all in to say the hell with this and stops all economic activity because of excessive taxes and government regulations
Rather than accept punishment for his success he decided to show them all how much THEY would lose without his riches or hard work
So...
NOW IS THE TIME
Cease any and all economic activity that you can from now until election day
Have a "staycation" at home planting a vegetable garden or fishing or doing volunteer work
Dont buy that boat or new car or TV (it can all wait 3 months, can't it?)
If not now, then when? RIGHT NOW it can affect the outcome of the elections.
TOPICS: Business/Economy; Government; Politics; Weird Stuff
KEYWORDS: galt

first 1-20, 21-33 next last
Later than this might be too late.
Check your stocks of supplies- canned goods, bartering materieals (toilet paper, drinking water, soaps, ammo, medical supplies)
Go to work, collect your money, and sit on it- for the next three months. No movies, cancel your newspaper and TV cable. No dinners at restaurants, movies (especially hollywood propoaganda), nothing...
Devote your time to defeating Obama and Socialists in Congress.
I wonder if the soviet-era propagandists were as gleefully willing as our libtard whorenalist media - until they found out that they would be TOLD what to write, and when.
This may be the last 3 months time period in your lifetime that you are able to take back to your government

In our house we knew what Obama was the minute he said "redistribution of wealth" to Joe the Plumber.
We immediately went Galt more than 3 years ago.
During our economic boycott of news media, movies, investments, resorts, travel, Government Motors, banks, we have amassed thousands we would have spent on those with agendas to destroy the country. Make your economic muscle felt: Go Galt! Starve the Socialist beast.

I never plan on going Galt. Nope.
If anything, I’ll go renegade. And even follow my Constitutional principles of violently opposing a tyrannical government.

I disagree with that- vote 100% across the board for GOP congress- but if you feel the need to NOT vote for Romney, I dont blame you-
I am voting 100% GOP congress, and writing in Palin
Unless Mitt grows a pair between now and november

Ayn RAnd’[s objectivism is a Godless effort at trying to find personal responsibility without ever having to surrender one’s self to God’s will for us.

Congress really needs to see the economic impact of that huge tax hike coming in January- right now
Peasants who have less money because of high taxes - spend less money on everything else
I support a middle-upper class econsumer strike in honor of the obama-Reid-Pelosi tax increases for the “rich”
Let the poor spend us into prosperity

I also went Galt in Oct. 09. My wife went part time, and we are enjoying early retirement by the pool drinking adult beverages, and fighting the evil left.

Been going Galt since 1/09
