A MUST READ - MORE WISDOM

WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT POLITICS IS PRESENTED HERE. A MUST READ FOR ALL AMERICANS, YOUNG AND OLD.

Discover Freedom

The Matrix is real and we are living in it. This book was written way before The Matrix, but it still exposes the same truths and helps to direct the reader to true freedom.

Great explanation of the unfortunate state of government.

Being a diehard conservative before reading this book, I am now convinced that despite present efforts by the Republican party to lower taxes (ESPECIALLY for the "wealthy one-percent of America" - yes, thats a good thing) and to hand over the welfare function of government to charities (please see Marvin Olasky's "Compassionate Conservatism") that enough is not being done fast enough, as too many citizens continue to slip into the trap of 'government stealing for all' being a good thing. Even though Gingrich and the '94 Congress "reformed" welfare, we are now seeing a move toward socialized "healthcare" and other misnomers of our welfare state. If you liked Gingrich's "To Renew America," you will love "Restoring the American Dream". I am 17 and will be able to vote soon, I am now considering registering as a libertarian instead.

An Excellent Libertarian Primer

I read this book when it was first written, and found it to be an excellent introduction to libertarian principles, one that gets across the important principles in a non-academic way. It's an easy read, while being quite convincing.

A must for libertarians and wannabes

This book finally convinced me to become a libertarian, or, more appropriately, made me realise I already am one. The basic premise is that nothing is more precious than individual rights. Freedom is more important than equality (the two ideals are actually antithetical and incompatible), more important than the "social safety net," even more important than "love of country." I urge anyone who feels our freedoms are being taken away from us to read this book ASAP. It's very much a rallying cry to return to limited government and individual liberty.
