As it appears that Obama has won this election, following Fox News calling both Ohio and PA for him, I think it is now time for the businessmen and women who run this country to make it quite clear what the consequences are to those people who sold out their freedom for empty promises.
Small business owners, your taxes are now going to be raised. You now will face the difficult choice of either cutting your costs by laying people off, or by passing the increased costs of taxation on to your customers. This time I want you to take the time to tell that laid off employee exactly why he has lost his job. Tell him that the Obama tax increase has forced you to take his salary and give it to "the middle class". If he protests that he is part of the middle class, then explain that he should make good use of the $500 he sold his vote for, because it cost him his job.
For the manufacturers: When you move your production facilities overseas because the US has the second highest corporate income taxes in the world, make sure your workers understand that their Union is mostly to blame, and they should go talk to them about why it was a good idea to vote for the guy who would make all union votes public.
For your customers: Explain that the price of your product has gone up because of your taxes being increased, and because the rising price of oil from keeping the caribou happy has forced you to charge them more. Tell them you tried inflating your tires, but unfortunately it did not put any more gasoline in your tank.
Consumers: When you go shopping, and are considering buying a high ticket item, when you change your mind, make sure that they know that if you had only kep that extra 3% of your salary.... the "chump change", you could have bought their item.
In short: It is time for us all to become John Galt.
Make them understand that capitalism requires capital, and unfortunately Obama gave the capital you needed to somebody who was more deserving than them.
Ask them how it feels to be "rich".
Tell them that you are sure they will be OK, because Obama told them it would be so.
Ask them how they are enjoying their "Change", and if they have any more "Hope" for the future.
No, not too harsh at all.
How do I get to Galt’s Gulch, BTW?
I would add this: Stop all charitable contributions. The beneficiaries of our private charity probably all voted for Obama. Let Obama pick up the tab. Let him take the blame for their “charity shortfall.” Stop whatever you have been giving, and when solicited explain that you can’t spare a penny since Obama got elected.
Ok, keep giving to the Boy Scouts and the NRA. But besides those, shut it down.
We stil have capital, intellectual, moral and financial. We could starve them of our intellectual by dropping out and taking our talents and resources away or share them with conservatives only. The moral, that keeps us strong. The Financial is the big question. Where is our “Bank of John Galt”? How do we take our capital out of the system and potentially put it into non-interest bearing accounts or loan it only to conservative investment or individuals. We are darn near 50% of this country. They can’t run without us. We can shut them down.....
Count me in.
It’s going to be somewhere in Alaska....

Trust me...it’s already happening...we are looking at tax structuring options...off shore options...downsizing options...all because of Barack. Will the last productive American please shut the light out as you leave. That dream is over.

50% of the country, >90% of the productivity.

I’ll second that motion.
I run several businesses in California.
As I have already stated here on Free Republic. I will do whatever is in my power to resist the left in this country.
I will no longer allow myself to take ANY responsibility for ignorant people.
They are not Americans in my view I will not stand by and watch this country implode.
I am totally on board with this.
Let’s decide on a date and I will pull the switch.
Nope and when the RNC comes calling for a donation tell them since out of millions of American citizens the best they could do was McCain for their candidate, you are not going to be giving them your money to squander on RINOs who will follow the same socialist/facsist policies the democrates are only slower.
Obama and the media are not to blame here, the Republicans had a sorry candidate.
The object in life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.

Do it the way John Galt did: buy gold bars.
It is time for John Galt to quit that boring business stuff and to take up writing vanities.
