Why are the majority on the organizers planing on afternoon tea parties? Turn outs would be better in the evening.

Nice that it's getting press, but not a new idea.

I have a relative who was self-employed. For years, he only worked 7-8 months a year because after a certain point, he paid 2/3 in taxes, right off the top. "What's the point?", he'd say, "Why should I work for only 30-odd cents on the dollar?". He completely quit a few years back, decided that it was more fun to play with his grandkids.

I've got several other relatives - self-employed, small businessmen, all - who have dramatically curtailed their work, or completely gotten out of their businesses entirely over the past few years. Same attitude...."What's the point?". For the self-employed, the only changes are to their own immediate lifestyle. But, for the small-business owners among them, the "changes" affected dozens, if not a couple of hundred, employees.

I think, in general, the change will be bad. And, it will happen from the top-down. Not, as Obama thinks, the bottom up. For no other reason than a man making $200,000 has ten times more purchasing clout than one making $20K. Not to be crass, but it really *is* all about money.

I am way ahead of the curve on this one. I have been preaching boycott for years. Why do we continue to do business with the enemies of freedom? I don’t. We need to put liberals on the unemployment lines. Don’t buy from conglomerates who give politicians money. Buy from local small businesses that support the Constitution, private property rights, gun rights, and freedom.

By the way, buy gold NOW. Obama is inflating the currency to create false prosperity and to swindle our creditors There is no way we are ever going to prepay the debt, we are inflating our way out of it. Do not lend money. If you own rental property, get ready for national rent control in addition to rationed health care, etc.

We know what the results of this disastrous regime will be. Prepare now. Read the Von Mises Institute’s book about the German inflation of the 20s and the Kennedy inflation of the 60s/70s here:
