IF THIS GOES ON ...
The world will end on October 5, 2009.

GOING GALT
Michelle Malkin beat me to the computer with this post on Townhall.com:
"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.
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?"

QUOTE OF THE DAY
From the comments at a Hot Air post on the likely effects of Obama's tax policies on charitable contributions. The comment isn't exactly on-topic, but it's telling about the Left's hostility to capitalism.
The comment from Entelechy:
The response from sethstorm:
My contribution: Sorry, sethstorm, but the IRS has no say (yet) in whether or how much I choose to work.
The comment from Entelechy:
We’re following in the same path, and I will not blame anyone who works/produces less, hides more assets, pays lesser taxes. I’ll lead the way, and how.
The response from sethstorm:
I’ll be glad to help the IRS in catching you at every step.
My contribution: Sorry, sethstorm, but the IRS has no say (yet) in whether or how much I choose to work.
