Freepers have a post: "Twelve Ways to Go Galt Without Quitting Your Job"

Hilarious.

It's basically how to "isolate" yourself from the economy through tax avoidance, buying and selling second hand goods, making gifts, buying guns and chainsaws and attending that really fun church social.

I would post the link but I just washed my hands.

The righties know that once they 'go Galt', the economy will improve greatly once they aren't trying to enforce their destructive and backwards policies. Because of that, they can't really follow the ghost of Ayn Rand to her magical island.

Made to think they are being taken from by their fellow Americans. When the truth is they are being taken advantage of by the people they are working for, in most instances.

And don't worry about quitting, you'll be outsourced soon enough.

Please, Republicans, go Galt -- all the self-interested fuckwits vanishing from the economy, decent people stepping in to fill the vacuum. It'll be like the Rapture, only for real!
