The conservative blogs I read are all talking about the phenomenon of "Going John Galt" that is already occurring as a result of Obama's policies that will punish the achievers. The title comes from Ayn Rand's book Atlas Shrugged (that I haven't read but will shortly). Apparently the book describes the achievers rising up and failing to produce. There are many, many real life examples of this in the articles I've been reading. Some are:
- a teacher who is going to quit his side consulting business b/c of the high cost of working for himself.
- a lawyer who will do everything possible to limit her income to $249,999.
- the owner of a small company that makes artificial limbs is moving his company to central America.
Click here and here to read more about this phenomenon, and click here if you are going to do this yourself and would like to be interviewed (the interviewer said she got over 400 emails from people living this phenomenon).
