Question: Ideas about how to realistically "Go Galt"?
11/7/12

Posted on 11/07/2012 2:53:04 AM PST by SoFloFreeper

I plan to cancel cable tv, quit the health club, am putting off purchases that I had planned IF Romney had won.

Am happy to hear ideas...I have to say my spouse was literally in tears last night, thinking about what dangers we face (not just as a family but as a society and a nation). We prayed together, asking God to guide us. HE knew this was going to happen, and HE can use this for HIS glory.

We just want to be as wise as possible with the resources God has provided.

So we welcome your input.

IIRC, Nancy Pelosi has already suggested this — maybe around ‘08 or so. I think the way she had it figured out was that all 401(k), etc., funds would be put into one big government pot and then they’d take care of distribution.

Why not just get on with your life like everyone else?

I was thinking Costa Rica or some other Central American country or some place where the dollar will go further.

I would be very wary of any country like that. When the American economy implodes, and the global economy with it, which is now inevitable, I wouldn't want to be in a country that views me as a foreigner, and especially if there are larger, vehemently anti-American/anti-white, neighboring countries. Australia may be alright, but they too have problems. I would like Poland, but the world is going to be a much darker place, and Poland is usually not the place to be when that happens.

Exactly. And please stop with the self-pitying. You are not in a concentration camp waiting to be gassed. You belong to the fattest, wealthiest, longest lived group of people on Earth. Ever.

(Sigh). What darker place? Mark my words, the world will go on as before and nothing much will change.

What form of slavery do you believe you will be subjected to?

Depending on what you want for a standard of living, look at Panama, too. However, Obama is not above interfering in the internal government affairs of Latin American countries when he wants too - like Honduras.

Panama has been considered an option, FWIW. We used to check out the site Christian Exodus.

Powerful governments enslave the people. When the government takes from you, in the form of taxation, they are enslaving you. Whatever you do for a living, you cease to do it for your self and do it at the behest of the government.

Keep in mind it only takes about 90 days to starve to death.

Quit drinking water...it's faster. ;-)

You would kill yourself over taxes?

I know folks who for the lack of a true conservative candidate on the ballot voted for Zero for that very reason.

Catholic Church has let the baby murderers run the organization in the US for years.

Millions of 'proud' Roman Catholics voted for Obama and pro-abortion candidates yesterday...

Yes, we did discuss either moving in with someone else or bringing in someone else.

Don’t know if you can go completely Galt, but you can target your spending you have to do. Do things like avoid left leaning companies, Amazon. Do not buy things made in Blue States. That is some of my plans.

Last time Obama won I also went to every blue States web site and ordered as much free crap as they had to offered, i. e. travel brochures, etc. Did the same thing with some left leaning groups just to cost them some money that they will never get back from me.

I also like to give tips in cash, not put them on my CC.

I would be willing to die, if I’m not allowed to be free.

I’m not a violent person, so insurrection is not what I would do, but I still choose to not participate in the system, regardless of what the consequences might be. I will always have a choice in that area.

Good luck. We’re all going to need it.
