A Quick Strategy Guide For Getting Through The Coming Cataclysm

A comment left by rtdrury December 11th, 2007 1:49 am at this article by Chris Hedges (which includes this wonderful quote: Acts of resistance are moral acts. They begin because people of conscience can no longer tolerate abuse and despotism. They are carried out not because they are effective but because they are right...Resistance is about affirming life in a world awash in death.):

The tax-deferred savings is a good idea. The charities are too but volunteer yourself in the organization first to learn what it’s up to. The other thing is to reduce your taxable income to reduce your tax obligation. It helps a lot to make plans to 1.) buy a lot for your house/garden asap with cash. 2.) build your own house, 3.) grow your own food, 4.) drive very little, 5.) repair things and barter, 6.) do without expensive medical treatments. 7.) have your kids train themselves instead of going to college. 8.) work in your local economy, and avoid the capitalist economy.

We can lower our taxes and much more by taking this approach. We both utilize and build our minds, bodies and spirits this way. The big difference between self-sufficiency today and self-sufficiency a century ago is that today we have better access to information, and we are building infrastructure today to streamline self-sufficiency. It’s something we’d like to do anyway. So when we take ourselves out of the capitalist economy, the capitalist economy shrinks and the local economy grows. We interact/integrate with the planet and the people, instead of with the capitalist mafia.

Once again, when we take ourselves out of the capitalist economy, the capitalist economy shrinks and the local economy grows. We interact/integrate with the planet and the people, instead of with the capitalist mafia, via:

1. buy a lot for your house/garden asap with cash


2. build your own house


3. grow your own food


4. drive very little


5. repair things and barter


6. do without expensive medical treatments


7. have your kids train themselves instead of going to college


8. work in your local economy, and avoid the capitalist economy

Excellent advice.
