Examples of productive hard-working citizens going Galt

[Jeb Stuart Thurmond]

Every day of the Obama administration, more of America's finest, most productive, most intelligent, and most moral people are "going Galt": disappearing from America, in hopes of seeing American civilization collapse into poverty, mass rape, and child cannibalism, due to our absence.



For those of us who have not yet gone Galt, there is the question, "So, just where will we go Galt TO?"

Where to go Galt?

Obviously after we flee America we want to be in a Protestant nation. That makes the obvious choice Western Europe.

Looking at the quality-of-life statistics, it seems that Western Europe is like a small town in the Bible belt, with an unfettered free-market economy.

For example, there's less crime. Western Europe's most murderous country, Finland, has half the murders per capita of America. Switzerland only has a quarter.

Europe's biggest crime-pot, Germany, has half the crime of the USA.

As for abortion, only one nation is Western Europe has %0.15 more abortions than the USA. The rest have less, Germans have a quarter as many abortions per capita as Americans do.

On Teen pregnancy, the sluttiest nation in Western Europe, Iceland, has about half the teen pregnancy of America. American girls are TEN TIMES more likely to be knocked up than Swiss girls. Clearly Europe teaches abstinence only!

But dig a bit deeper and it turns out that, despite the superior standard of living for the average European, the high personal morals and low crime, Europe has something that we must avoid at all costs:

Call it the Europe Syndrome. Last April I had occasion to speak in Zurich, where I made some of these same points. Afterward, a few of the 20-something members of the audience came up and said plainly that the phrase "a life well-lived" did not have meaning for them. They were having a great time with their current sex partner and new BMW and the vacation home in Majorca, and they saw no voids in their lives that needed filling.

It was fascinating to hear it said to my face, but not surprising. It conformed to both journalistic and scholarly accounts of a spreading European mentality that goes something like this: Human beings are a collection of chemicals that activate and, after a period of time, deactivate. The purpose of life is to while away the intervening time as pleasantly as possible.

- Charles Murray Author of the Bell Curve, (the book that proves brown people are stupid), writing for the Washington Post

I for one would rather be aborted, in poverty, murdered, raped, and suffer all of those things that happen so much more often in America, than suffer a European life of having no voids to fill, and of living "the pursuit of pleasantness".

Life is not about living pleasantly, it's about having voids that need filling, about storing up riches in heaven, by suffering for origional sin to appease our vengeful LORD.

My Final Choice

So, with Europe out of the question, what nations are there left to go Galt to? Well, Somolia may have an Ayn Rand style total lack of government, but it's not Christian. Gambia is the most Christian Nation in the world, the only nation with plans to carry out the Biblical punishment for homosexuality, and one of the few to still hunt witches.



Other countries, rated most Republican to most Socialist

So, here's the best way to find the most republican places to live: INCOME INEQUALITY BY NATION. Notice that the socialist nations of Western Europe are at the bottom. Avoid these communist hellholes at all costs (worst at bottom):

#119 France:28 2005
#120 Germany:28 2005
#121 Norway:28 2005
#122 Malta:28 2005
#123 Belgium:28 2005
#124 Albania:26.7 2005
#125 Bosnia and Herzegovina:26.2 2001
#126 Czech Republic:26 2005
#127 Luxembourg:26 2005
#128 Finland:26 2005
#129 Austria:26 2005
#130 Slovakia:26 2005
#131 Iceland:25 2005
#132 Slovenia:24 2005
#133 Denmark:24 2005
#134 Sweden:23 2005

At the top are the places where merit is rewarded, and whining is ignored:

#1 Namibia:70.7 2003
#2 South Africa:65 2005
#3 Lesotho:63.2 1995
#4 Botswana:63 1993
#5 Central African Republic:61.3 1993
#6 Bolivia:59.2 2006
#7 Haiti:59.2 2001

Another way to look at the same thing: which nations have the most money in the hands of their richest people? Here are the nations that punish success (bottom is worst):

#97 Germany: 38.5%
#98 Austria: 38%
#99 Croatia: 38%
#100 Ukraine: 37.8%
#101 Slovenia: 37.7%
#102 Belgium: 37.3%
#103 Bulgaria: 36.8%
#104 Luxembourg: 36.5%
#105 Italy: 36.3%
#106 Czech Republic: 35.9%
#107 Finland: 35.8%
#108 Norway: 35.8%
#109 Japan: 35.6%
#110 Denmark: 34.5%
#111 Sweden: 34.5%

And here are the places where your success will be rewarded:

#1 Central African Republic: 65%
#2 South Africa: 64.8%
#3 Swaziland: 64.4%
#4 Brazil: 64.1%
#5 Nicaragua: 63.6%
#6 Sierra Leone: 63.4%
#7 Chile: 61%
#8 Colombia: 60.9%

Re: Examples of productive hard-working citizens going Galt

It's sad that America has turned its back on the rich, white, Christian Elite of this nation, but like our great great great great great grandfather's great grandfather's did back in the old days, perhaps moving to another country is our only option. I'm sure that any European country would be glad to host a few thousand True Americans (according to World Net Daily there are 350,000 people that believe Barack Obama was born in Kenya, so we can assume that many people will be going).

Re: Examples of productive hard-working citizens going Galt

I promised examples of American citizens going Galt, and here's an example:

The following is a letter sent on Tuesday by Jake DeSantis, an executive vice president of the American International Group’s financial products unit...

It is with deep regret that I submit my notice of resignation from A.I.G. Financial Products....

After 12 months of hard work dismantling the company — during which A.I.G. reassured us many times we would be rewarded in March 2009 — we in the financial products unit have been betrayed by A.I.G. and are being unfairly persecuted by elected officials...My hard work earned me acceptance to M.I.T., and the institute’s generous financial aid enabled me to attend.
...

I did, however, like many others here, lose a significant portion of my life savings in the form of deferred compensation invested in the capital of A.I.G.-F.P. because of those losses. In this way I have personally suffered from this controversial activity — directly as well as indirectly with the rest of the taxpayers.
...
We have worked 12 long months under these contracts and now deserve to be paid as promised. None of us should be cheated of our payments any more than a plumber should be cheated after he has fixed the pipes but a careless electrician causes a fire that burns down the house.
...
I know that because of hard work I have benefited more than most during the economic boom and have saved enough that my family is unlikely to suffer devastating losses during the current bust.
...
I at least deserve to dictate how my earnings are spent, and do not want to see them disappear back into the obscurity of A.I.G.’s or the federal government’s budget.

See what you've done, you jealous mobocrats who taxed back the bonuses AIG worked so hard for? You've got nobody to produce your financial products now. All thanks to your cheating, betrayal, and persecution.

When I saw the title for this thread, I thought it was about the town in the central valley of California, a few hours north of Fresno.

They are very proud of their water tower. I do not want to go there.

I done more thinking, and I've concluded that China is the place to be. Just look at this video and tell me that Chinese aren't the most freedom-loving law-and-order supporters you've ever seen:

Re: Examples of productive hard-working citizens going Galt

Texas billionaire Allen Stanford has given ABC News his first interview since being charged by the socialist SEC with "orchestrating a massive Ponzi scheme" (Socialist-code for being a hard worker):



If you watch the video, you'll see that it looks like he'll be Going Galt very soon. Just look at the signs:

• He lamented how the charges had deprived him of being listed by Forbes as the 405th wealthiest person in the world.
• He complained about being forced to fly commercial after the government seized his fleet of private jets. ("They make you take your shoes off and everything, it's terrible.)
  
• "I'm the maverick rich Texan where they can put the moose head on the wall. And that's the only reason they went after me." He's got a point - we've all seen how rich Texans always get a raw deal.

And asked whether he was being probed for laundering Mexican drug money, as has been reported, he responded: "If you say it to my face again, I will punch you in the mouth,"

..."I always lived very frugally. I flew around on a private jet. I had a boat. But I always lived very frugally. I'm not a high-fallutin guy...What people have always said about me is that I'm more in touch with the valet and the maitre d' than I am with the president and CEO."

Re: Examples of productive hard-working citizens going Galt

Thank you, so MUCH Brother Jeb for this excellent statistical analysis of the pitfalls of socialism and the GLORY of unrestricted, free-market, Capitalism!!!

It's too bad that the leading countries in Freedom® in the world are all located in Africa. Maybe unsupecting Americans looked at Barack Obama and just ASSUMED that he would turn America into a triving Land of Liberty© and opportunity like the Central African Republic. Isn't it just like the conniving DEMONcrats to pull Bait-and-Switch tactics on the unsuspecting voters of the United States that desperately long for a nation of few regulations and laissez-faire capitalism? All I can say is, WE TOLD YOU SO!!! Caveat emptor!!

Sounds like a Communist pretending to be a Capitalist, if you ask me.

Did he inherit his money, or did he or steal it? It sure doesn't sound like he earned it, if he has more in common with the guy who parks his car or the guy who leads him to a table in a restaurant than with the people who are supposed to be running his business, and his right-hand men. Bet he believes in paying them "according to their need" instead of according to their ability, too!

And the fact that he considers "the valet" and "the maitre d'" as fine examples of the working class indicates that he was born to privilege.

He's not a self-made anything! He's a fraud!

No, it is clear Brother Stanford is a creator not a looter like those worthless waiters and valets he has such an odd obsession for

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen_Stanford

Stanford started in business in Waco, where he opened a body-building gym, but it failed.[17] His first success in business was in Houston real estate from the Texas oil bubble burst in the early 1980s.[18] His partner in the real estate venture was his father James. In the 1980s, Stanford and his father made a fortune buying up depressed Houston real estate and selling it years later as the market recovered. When his father retired in 1993, Stanford took control of a company of 500 employees.[15]

Stanford moved to the Caribbean in the 1980s, first to Montserrat and then to Antigua.[15] With the Stanford Finance, he started a bank on the island of Montserrat in 1985, Guardian International Bank, which he moved to Antigua during a British crackdown on Montserrat's offshore-banking industry in 1980s and renamed Stanford International Bank, and affiliate of Stanford Financial.[19]

In early 2007, Stanford and Baldwin Spencer, the prime minister of Antigua and Barbuda and a former Stanford ally, began orally feuding in public.[20]

In 2009, Antigua's Financial Services Regulatory Commission has named a British firm, Vantis Business Recovery Services, as a receiver of Stanford International Bank and Stanford Trust Company, the Associated Press reported.

Sounds like a typical American success story; make a fortune off a bunch of losers and then find a third world country to take over as your own private play thing. No, the persecution of Stanford is pure jealousy from the looters in the government against hard workers like Stanford here because they aren't willing to work hard like Stanford has.

Remember Benny Madoff is only a criminal because the government says he is.

Glorious update on Brother Jake DeSantis. (subscription needed)

Overall, Mr. Pasciucco said, about a third of the resignations were from the financial-products office in London. He said that Jake DeSantis, an executive who announced his resignation in a New York Times op-ed piece amid the controversy, is still on the job short term as the commodity business he works on is resolved. AIG didn't make him available for comment.

You see, DeSantis, like the John Galt he truly is, is sticking it to the system. He's resigned himself from solving the situation the Liberal looters have created and taken a humble, mind his own business job at AiG.

Were is your taxes and bonuses now Mr Obama?

Re: Examples of productive hard-working citizens going Galt

Africa seems to be God's favorite continent. It was free-market nations like Somolia, the True Christian nation of Gambia, and now, signs of Christianity in Nigeria:

(CNN) -- Christian Eshiett was a rambunctious pre-teen who spent a lot of time cavorting with his friends in southern Nigeria. He would skip school and run away from home for days, frustrating his grandfather, who oversaw the boy's care.

"I beat him severely with canes until they broke, yet he never shed a tear," said Eshiett Nelson Eshiett, 76. "One day, I took a broom to hit him and he started crying. Then I knew he was possessed by demons. ... Nigerian witches are terrified of brooms."

From that day two years ago, Christian, now 14, was branded a witch.

The teen is one of the so-called witch children in Eket, a city in oil-rich Akwa Ibom state of Nigeria.

They are blamed for causing illness, death and destruction, prompting some communities to put them through harrowing punishments to "cleanse" them of their supposed magical powers.

"Children accused of witchcraft are often incarcerated in churches for weeks on end and beaten, starved and tortured in order to extract a confession," said Gary Foxcroft, program director of Stepping Stones Nigeria, a nonprofit that helps alleged witch children in the region.

Many of those targeted have traits that make them stand out, including learning disabilities, stubbornness and ailments such as epilepsy, he added.
The issue of "child witches" is soaring in Nigeria and other parts of the world, Foxcroft said. (Gee, Harry Potter wouldn't have anything to do with that, now would it? )
The states of Akwa Ibom and Cross River have about 15,000 children branded as witches, and most of them end up abandoned and abused on the streets, he said.
Christian ran away from home and wandered around for two years with other children similarly accused. He said they stole, begged for food and performed menial jobs to survive. (Oh, bo-ho! Black people having to WORK! The Horror! The Horror! )
Belief in witchcraft thrives worldwide. About 1,000 people accused of being witches in Gambia were locked in detention centers in March and forced to drink a dangerous hallucinogenic potion, human rights organization Amnesty International said.

In 2005, relatives of an 8-year-old Angolan girl living in England were convicted of torturing her for being a "witch," according to the Times Online.

Pastors have been accused of worsening the problem by claiming to have powers to recognize and exorcise "child witches," sometimes for a fee, aid workers said.

But some are true believers, such as one minister in Lagos, Nigeria. He pinpoints children affected by witchcraft for free, he said.

"Sometimes, we get a dream that shows us a certain person is suffering from witchcraft," said the Rev. Albert Aina, a senior pastor at Four Square Gospel Church. "Sometimes, you have a child who has inexplicable body marks because of struggling in the night. They are easy to identify, but why charge when you have been given a gift by God?" Aina said.

Once a child is branded a witch, the stigma can last forever.

Forever? No, a lifetime is not forever. Eternal HELLFIRE is forever.

Re: Examples of productive hard-working citizens going Galt

I've been thinking a lot about this recently and I'm beginning to think that moving to Europe might not be such a bad idea. Of course there would be many changes that we would have to endure, the least of which being that our hatred of Mexican immigrants will no longer be relevant or sensible; instead we will have to hate Polish construction workers. I know that these changes will be hard but I'm sure we can all endure them. I know it'll be hard for the first month trying to remember to say "Polish construction workers" instead of "filthy field-working Mexicans" but we'll make it!

Can you explain why the white constructions that built my house were ignorant, lazy, shiftless morons that needed a daily beating and still quit at 3 pm doing terrible work, while my Mexican crew of gardeners never needs one word said, they work way into sunset and never complain and my yard is beautiful? I am certain none of the construction workers were Polish.
