I’ve been delighted to see some activity on the Net from people who are interested in taking a more proactive approach to the Obamageddon situation. Rather than just sit around passively and wait for people to come to their senses, something I’ve discovered never happens, they are talking up means of choking off the lifeblood of Leftist ideology, stolen money.
To that end, they’ve suggested “Going John Galt”. John Galt being the main, but rarely seen hero of Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged who breaks the back of an oppresive socialist government by convincing the productive people of the world to stop producing.
There are three flavors of “Going John Galt” that I’ve heard of so far:
- The John Galt-Intentionally reducing one’s income so as to fall to a lower tax bracket and thus reduce tax revenue to the government.
- The John Galt in Place or Static John Galt-If one can’t reduce one’s income and survive, then steps are taken to ensure that income remains static. That way a person remains in the same tax bracket and produces no additional taxable income thereby reducing tax revenue to the government.
- The Reverse John Galt-Those who can live off of the coming government benefits stop producing altogether and make themselves an additional burden to the social welfare system, thus draining revenue that would be sucked up by the Exploiters and Moochers of the Left, and thus hastening the collapse of the untenable system.
These are just three ways we can revolt against what’s coming. I’m sure you can think of more. The gist is, do everything you can to choke off renenue to the government and everything you can to increase expenditures.
