That would be "Going Postal." It means having righteous indignation at the injustice of a political system that bails out individuals and institutions for irresponsible behavior and at the expense of those like you who prosper through hard work and personal responsibly. 'Going Galt' means asking in the face of new taxes and government controls, "Why work at all?" "For whom am I working?" "Am I a slave?" 'Going Galt' means recognizing that you're being punished not for your vices but for your virtues. 'Going Galt' means recognizing that you have a moral right to your own life, the pursuit of your own happiness, and thus to the rewards you've earned with your labor. 'Going Galt' means recognizing that you deserve praise and honor for your achievements rather than damnation as "exploiters." 'Going Galt' means recognizing that you do not need to justify your life or wealth to your neighbors, "society," or politicians, or bureaucrats. They're yours, period! 'Going Galt' means recognizing that the needs of others do not give them a claim to your time, effort, and achievements. 'Going Galt' means shrugging off unearned guilt, refusing to support your own destroyers, refusing to give them what Ayn Rand termed "the sanction of the victim." It means taking the moral high ground by explicitly rejecting as evil the premise of "self-sacrifice" that they sell to you as a virtue— in fact "self-sacrifice" is an invitation to suicide. So here's what you can do... 1. Buy used or new via secondary markets. Use Craigslist to find new stuff at less than retail... and you pay no taxes into the system. 2. Contribute to the secondary market by having a yard sale, you've probably got tons of junk you haven't even seen in years. 3. Forget status symbols and keeping-up-with-the-Jones'. Maybe you can afford that nice new car, but you’ll pay A TON of taxes on it. Find a lesser vehicle that makes you happy that feeds the beast less, perhaps one bartered from within the family. 4. Invest and hold. Avoid taxable capital gains until Jan 2017. 5. FIX YOUR STUFF instead of replacing it. So many people look at durable possessions as disposable. Take those pants to the tailor, or better yet, get a used sewing machine and fix them yourself. Find someone with a welding machine to fix that patio chair. 6. Maintain your possessions properly. Clean the dust out of your computer. Keep on top of the car, house, and tools. 7. Plant a garden and grow as much of your own food as possible... and don't forget spices in your window box, fresh is best anyway.. 8. Enjoy life more simply. Choose a day at the park over an afternoon at the movies. Attend a church cookout instead of going to Outback. 9. Speaking of things like the movies - stop going (Ed- I did years ago). Wait for the DVD and rent it for $1 at Redbox. If there is a cheaper option to do something, take that option. Or - here’s a radical idea - buy used books dirt cheap and READ. 10. Set up two days a week to run errands. Run them all at once and efficiently instead of wasting money (and taxes) on fuel. If your workplace offers a work-from-home option, TAKE IT. (The 'green' Left will love this one, but we're talking about opportunities to avoid paying taxes into the system, while saving yourself some coin in the process) . 11. Create gifts instead of buying them. 12. Barter for goods and services under-the-table 13. Avoid all union shops, products, and services 14. If possible, move to a low-tax Red state |

Take your savings out of the economy and hide it as best as you can. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27313404 2) In the same vein, take as much of your economic activity to the black market / cash only market as you can. 3) If you are thinking about closing your business down, go ahead 4) If you are keeping your business running, take a strong look at who you are hiring and firing (ie consider firing minorities and single women) 5) If you are a doctor begin limiting your patients or only take cash payments. 6) If you produce food (farmers) consider reducing your output to drive up prices and help Michelle O. with her fight on fat. 7)Do not associate, coach, elevate, or help in any way those who trend Democrat. This includes charities or even your own family. 8)If you are working hard to try and get ahead. Stop - enjoy your life and family while you still can. 9) Do not associate with liberal bastions such as schools, colleges, and the entertainment industry. Consider homeschooling your kids. 10) Move to a red state and start pushing for secession. 11) Military members near retirement should retire; make the Democrats fight the next war. And whatever you do, NEVER lose your job or become disabled because then you'd have to accept some of that free stuff and I guess you'd rather die first. Oh, and make sure you have a million or so stashed against your retirement because you wouldm't want to have to take any of that filthy social security money. |

Maybe it's got something to do with that gigantic military (and all those parasites who demand pentagon hand-outs to keep their overpaid cushy jobs in their home counties) Or perhaps its because they've allowed their entire finanical system to be manipulated by a few big players who keep the spoils for themselves.

Unlike welfare recipients, people who receive social security and disability have PAID INTO THEIR ACCOUNT DURING THEIR WORKING YEARS. Some of us have paid over $50,000 in TAXES in a given year. How many welfare and food-stamps recipients do you figure have done the same? OP's right. Time to stop pushing the cart and watch the look on their faces when they realize they're not getting that free ride anymore. |

I do, well I don't bother growing my own herbs 'cause the deer eat it, but it's advice that helped people survive the Depression of the 30's. It's also typical practice of old-money wealth. One other thing, unless you personally can get admitted to Ivy-League level universities, you can get a better education (at least better lectures) for free than what you can buy at college, with the online courses from Yale, MIT, Stanford, etc. I'm not talking about paying an online college. I'm talking about free online courses from the greatest universities. |
