Randian action for Victory 2012: Go Galt to worsen Economy

Resolved that: The current administration and Democrat majority in the Senate, in conjunction with Progressive socialists from all around the country, especially those from Hollywood and the left leaning news media (Indeed, most of the news media.) have worked in unison to advance an anti-business, an anti-free market, and an anti-capitalist (anti-individual rights and property ownership) agenda. [...]

I, an American small business owner, part of the class that produces the vast majority of real, wealth producing jobs in this country, hereby resolve that I will not hire a single person until this war against business and my country is stopped.

From Eric Dondero:

Melissa Brookstone, a member of Tea Party Nation, a Teabook blogger, and supporter of Ron Paul for President, has been getting a great deal of national and even international media attention as of late. Last Tuesday, she was the winner of cable news commentator Keith Olberman's "Worst Person of the Week," award.

From the International Business Times ibtimes.com "Tea Party Group Says Small Businesses Should Stop Hiring to Hurt Obama" Oct. 20:

In a letter titled "Call For a Strike of American Small Businesses Against The Movement For Global Socialism," on the Tea Party Nation Web site -- one of the largest Tea Party groups in the nation -- that was subsequently e-mailed to its members, contributor Melissa Brookstone urges small businesses owners to cease hiring new employees in order to protest the "progressive socialist" policies of the Obama administration.

Brookstone, who writes in a subsequent post that she is not a conservative, but Libertarian-turned-Objectivist (the philosophy touted by author/novelist Ayn Rand), claims that Obama and the Democratic Party-controlled Senate are participating in a "globalist socialist agenda of redistribution of wealth, and the waging of class warfare against our constitutional republic's heritage of individual rights, free market capitalism, and indeed our Constitution itself, with the ultimate goal of collapsing the U.S. economy and globalizing us into socialism."

The Occupy Wall Street movement, according to Brookstone, is similarly protesting against business, private party ownership and capitalism, which Obama, the "Democrat-Socialists" and the media are perpetuating. Therefore, Brookstone said she, as a small business owner -- she did not specify what kind of business she owns -- will not hire more employees until "the war against business and my country is stopped."

As Portfolio.com (Business Owners: I'm on Strike) points out, Brookstone may already have some support among top Republicans.

“Job creators are basically on strike,” Boehner said back in September, because of a “triple threat” of excessive regulation, a tax code that discourages investment and the federal government’s “spending binge.”
