Going Galt

That title refers to a new phenomenon of high earners mimicking the character John Galt from the book Atlas Shrugged. Rep. John Campbell explains:

“People are starting to feel like we’re living through the scenario that happened in ‘Atlas Shrugged,’” said Campbell. “The achievers, the people who create all the things that benefit rest of us, are going on strike. I’m seeing, at a small level, a kind of protest from the people who create jobs, the people who create wealth, who are pulling back from their ambitions because they see how they’ll be punished for them.”

I've published a few examples here and here, and Michelle Malkin has more. Look for this trend to spread.
