Default I'm tired of this....uh...stuff.

Jebus, the libs are so cocky now. They were insufferable before the election but now, they have taken smug superiority to entirely new levels.

And before the tards jump in with the "your side lost, get over it..." my lib fatigue has nothing to do with that.

What is so nauseatingly pathetic is that they really think they are smarter. We all know there are only two kinds of progressives:

1. Those that know that they are selling out the poor and middle class but are actually smart enough to know that being honest about their true agenda won't work (see Rules for Radicals and Cloward and Piven) (disengenuous)

2. Those who are ignorant and believe the platitudes put forth by the group above and have no idea that they will be much worse off in the long run. (useful idiots)

I was talking to a couple of CEOs today (billion dollar companies) who mentioned they have colleagues that are "going Galt".

I, for one, will not forget those who sold out America to the takers. The pain is coming. They will own it.

I agree.

I'm not personally well-off enough to go completely Galt, but I will spend absolutely NO more money than I actually NEED to, bare minimum expenses.

No more trips, no furniture purchases that I had planned, will buy second-hand, used, or otherwise 'not new' stuff for a while. Have increased my exemptions to break even on tax payments throughout the year, and my (tax-deferred) retirement accounts are maxed and put into as conservative status as I can get.

Can't go Galt completely, and I can't go off the grid, but I can certainly minimize my footprint.

I sure hope these next 4 years go by quick. This sucks.

I have NEVER taken a handout. I have created hundreds of jobs. I've been self employed my entire adult life and always paid my taxes.

Above all, I have never voted for a progressive.

We all will. I take some responsibility for this. He got my vote the first time around. He didn't this time.

Me either. Not a dime since I was 18. This isn't as uncommon as you think you know.

I've created not a one.

After 20 years in electronics, I went into home remodeling, if I didn't get the bids, someone would, so I dunno just how many jobs I 'created' except for myself, and honestly,I could care LESS how many jobs I 'created'....I made a decent living at it for a decent time span.....

my workers/employees were paid on a 1099, and my subs got paid directly by customer.....keep it lo to the ground and KISS......prime points in any business, really.....

NOW I reveal a little known/thought of GOOD idea......as many of you know, SS retirement pay is dependent on the last ~3 years of highest reported earnings.....SO, if you own a company with an office, you bring in your wife and maybe daughter to run the office, and overpay them as much as you can .....get their retirement check up there....even if you take a pay cut.......then let them leave and stay home again, yes they DO have to show up for work every day.....

Keep living that fantasy of yours. I don't know what circles you run in, but I can say from first hand experiences that the business community is not investing in growth, not going to hire people and expand BECAUSE OF ONE THING AND ONE THING ONLY.

The reelection of Barack Hussain Obama and his policies to destroy small business, redistribute wealth, increase regulations, punish success and increase the cost of doing business.

THAT is the bullshit to which you refer.

I talk to guys who sweeps floors and empties trash. You know what Joe Lunchpail is gonna do? Sweep floors, empty trash and make the best of it.

Mr Lunchpail doesn't have the means to liquidate and move to the Caymans. Most don't.

I've been there. Mr. Lunchpail should hit night school and improve his skill set if he doesn't like his situation.

I've read enough of his posts to know he isn't hanging out with "billion dollar" CEO's.

You guys are living in the past. I went Galt and stopped participating in the economy YEARS ago!!! No more Corvette, no more dining out, no more hundreds of dollars in Amazon purchases each month, etc., etc., etc.*

Buncha Johnny-Come-Latelys in here.

*Obamanomics forced my hand. Hooray for four more years. KILL ME.
