Google the phrase, with quotes, "Going Galt" and you'll get "about 215,000" results or so. Are libertarians witnessing the mainstreaming of John Galt? This article touches on one of the reasons why the idea of Going Galt is becoming so popular.

In an effort to help them keep their own money, he set up secret bank accounts as a firewall against the ravages of the voracious American IRS.
