Summary

Completely updated edition of one of the classic works of conservative literatureLong before the advent of conservative talk radio and Fox News, Robert Ringer was an outspoken advocate for the cause of freedom and free enterprise. In this classic workupdated for the 21st centuryRingerrs"s basic premise is that liberty must be given a higher priority than all other objectives. The economic and political calamity that he warned about in the late seventies is now upon us, and his new edition of Restoring the American Dream is sure to resonate with the feelings of todayrs"s angry voters. In his book, Ringer explains that: bull; The American Dream is not about increased government benefits and government-created "rights," but, rather, about individualism, self responsibility, and freedomincluding the freedom to succeed or fail on oners"s own bull; The barbarians are not at the gates; they are already inside bull; Ordinary citizens no longer tell their elected officials what to do. Rather, government tells them what to doand backs it up with force bull; The desire of people to band together to bring about quick, short term solutions to their problems through government intervention has perpetuated a cycle that has nearly destroyed the American Dream With Washington continuing to expand government power and spending at a record pace, Restoring the American Dream is a voice of sanity in a world gone mad.
