Enough. While they take to the streets politically, untold numbers of America's wealth producers are going on strike financially.
ABC News spotlighted upper-income earners going Galt in response to Obama's proposed tax hikes on families with incomes of $250,000 or more. A Lafayette, La., attorney told the reporter she was cutting back on her business to avoid the tax threshold: "Why kill yourself working if you're going to give it all away to people who aren't working as hard?"
"Going Galt" is a reference to the famed Ayn Rand novel "Atlas Shrugged," in which protagonist John Galt leads the entrepreneurial class to cease productive activities in order to starve the government of revenue.
Well. Me too. I’m “going Galt” as well. If it costs me a few bucks to maintain my freedom, then so be it.
I AM AN AMERICAN. I WILL NOT GIVE UP MY LIBERTY.
