A tax revolt would be the best way to shove it straight up their asses.

Yeah. Good luck with that. It's been tried in the past and gone down in spectacular failure.

Agree, but not about having a generator. Unless you have medicines that need to be refrigerated, they’re more of a liability, IMO.

They’re loud, draw attention, and require gasoline (or diesel or propane, but some form of fuel) in order to run, which means you have to stock up those fuel supplies as well.

I’ve got several cooking/camp stoves to replace my oven, and enough propane in tanks to heat via gas fireplace. We’re fortunate to be in a relatively temperate zone.

I’m wearing a tee shirt right now that says, “who is John Galt?”. It starts conversations when I wear it out.

I know a lot of military folks that are just about at the boiling point

I was wondering how they felt. I would not let my son join under this or a similar administration.

“Let’s crash this pig all the way into the ground and start over.”

Sounds like a plan.

That's been Obama's plan all along. Only he and the socialist/communist will pick up the pieces and recreate our economy and government. They will say "capitalism has failed, we need something different, something that is fair".

She said they were going to punish anyone that opposed them.

And she still lost 10 million votes.

Good luck with that. You will not believe how many guns are in the state of Kalifornia. They will start a civil war in Kalifornia if they try to confiscate them.

I am thinking 1K rounds of ammo should be enough and will use a 300% safety factor just to make sure. Self defense only.

Depends on where you live and the extent to which the "takers" attempt to take under cover of government responses to "unrest." Do you have any idea how much ammo you could expend in a single attempt for even a small group to take your stuff? Then there may be the continuous "running skirmishes." 1K per weapon depending on type of firearm. If an AR type count on at least 5K with a cusion per weapon. Also, remember that if you engage in "spray and pray" your round count will go up exponentially. So buy some cheaper hardball like Blazer and start practicing. Or maybe get some good instruction that's reasonably priced like The Sig Academy. I'm going up there this summer.

Even though a movie, Red Dawn is an example of survival, albeit without the offensive moves that the group made...That was Hollywoodish....

Sure, and as for the offensive moves, you're correct for those kids. But think of the havoc that a bunch of former SEALs or Army Rangers and other former SOF folks could wreak. Eric Rudolph was a simple former infantry grunt. A private. He ran the FBI ragged in 40 square miles of wilderness for years. He was just on the run, although he undoubtedly had local help. Would you like to be a fed headed into the woods to capture a bunch of wild eyed PO'ed SEALs? Not me!

I believe this unrest is going to be slow and incremental.

Look at California; they are doing on a state level what we are about to do federally, and there is still relative peace in that state. Sure, there's the typical violence and property theft in low income areas, but there isn't any sort of political meaning attached to the violence.

And since the FED is able to supply an endless supply of federal dollars, it's hard to say if and when the benefits will cease. And as long as the freeloaders are getting their payouts, there will be relative peace.

It might even be best if everyone just quit working. Everyone. Go on unemployment, overload the system.

That would be the quickest way to crash the system; with no income, you don't pay taxes- and by applying for benefits, you make a double whack on the government.

Obama will feel he can do ANYTHING...

He will do anything he pleases and no one will do or say anything to stop the rats.
