Is it now time to go Galt?

Going Galt has a nice ring to it. Most people do not know what going Galt really means. Like so many expressions we have today, it can mean any number of things.

How about a going Galt strategy that will generate results? What does going Galt mean and how would the strategy work?

Going Galt is generally meant that those of us who are producers in society simply refuse to produce any more. Without producers, the economy will collapse. After all, without the producers, who is going to make what the takers want?

Going Galt is actually something the left would like. After all, the goal of Obama and the hard left is not simply to rule but to fundamentally change America. A crisis like that would give them the chance.

So what do we do?

The Muslim insurgency in Thailand is minimal ... Muslims are at 3% or less of the Thai population ... 96% are peaceful and tolerant Buddhist. And - of the militant / violent Muslims almost all live in the extreme far south of Thailand next to the Malaysian Border where they came from ... Also - the Thai government and citizens are kick ass when it comes to Islamic violence against the Thai people ... The Thais do not have restrictions of Political Correctness or Hate Laws... to hinder them ...

I went Galt many years ago - best thing I ever did.

For me going Galt was dropping out of the corporate scene with the six-figure income and starting my own business and doing what I enjoyed most. My income plummeted - in fact for the first year we had to absorb a lot with credit cards - but my quality of life went through the roof.

You don't have to go to zero to "go Galt" ... just look for more out of life than $$ income.

This is really not a decision that will be made with a lot of thought about the political consequences. It is, rather, a natural outgrowth of the rise of political class (Dem and Rep alike) that seeks to to expropriate money from producers to feed their habit. Most producers are now just going to lie low and produce less in order to attract less attention.
