A review

Very good book. Phil Valentine is a very popular radio talk show host.He also knows how to write as well.

Great tax history and Actions

This is great book about history of taxes and actions to take to reduce them. Phil's best statement "If you think we should all pay more taxes, why do you itemize?"

Interesting from political and historical perspective

I work in the state tax area, so I enjoyed the historical accounts of tax revolts. I also enjoyed hearing about the TN legislature's political moves used in trying to get a personal income tax passed. No surprise that the writing style is rather self-aggrandizing (Mr. Valentine is a talk-show radio host.)

Inspiration from a brilliant writer and speaker

I listen to Mr. Phil Valentine Monday through Friday, here in middle Tennessee. I and my family were at these Capitol Tax Revolt Rallies in Nashville. I urge you to grab the opportunity to become inspired toward "rebellion against an overbearing, bloated, arrogant and abusive government" by reading this book. Mr. Valentine is eloquent and, yet, easy to follow. Come on! I'll meet you all at the town square!
