I certainly agree with the final comment, that "In 2010, we all must be John Galt." If there was ever a time to go on strike, it is now. And even though there is no Galt's Gulch to run to, everyone can do something to withold their "consent" of the governed. Earn less and make what you have go farther. Find sales with no state tax. Avoid expansion in your business. Comb the tax rules for every possible nickel you can keep from government. Pay the lowest possible price for something you need because a smaller sales tax denies the government assets to use against you. Do not plan new initiatives or expansion.
You already see what voting can do. A bunch of young people and those ashamed of their previous treatment of blacks have saddled us with socialism. Now, if you want to do something effective, reduce every nickel you can that goes into government's maw - at every level. You're outnumbered and out-earned anyway. Government employees are the fastest growing sector, with average wages about $30,000 per year more than the private wage average. They can legislate away, and build up debt as they wish, but there will be a reckoning from the financial markets. And if you deny them their cash flow, the impact will be felt. As Rand suggested, when the system fails the capitalists can re-build it. In the meantime, a reduction in your financing of an evil system is the only moral stance possible.
