Perfectly Legal: The Covert Campaign to Rig Our Tax System to Benefit the Super Rich--and Cheat Everybody Else
$15.00
An interesting book. It was recommended as a "must read" by my Aunt. She is very politically savvy and gave the book a shot. I read about 3/4 of the book and ended up putting it down and never picking it back up. The beginning was very fast paced and seemed to cover intriguing topics. As the book goes on, it begins to wear the reader (at least this one) down. It's maddening to think people manipulate the tax system to push the burden on to others, however little is offered to fix it. At least up until the point I read. I hope to get back into the book, and at which point I will try to further my review. I figured it was worth noting, I could hardly get through it!

Cute book for older kids, but I don't recommend it for young children that still have a black and white view of the world. My four year old son now keeps saying that he doesn't like policemen. He thinks they're going to send him to jail for things like making a mistake on his homework. I've tried explaining to him how jail works and reassuring him that he's not going to jail, but his little mind doesn't seem to see beyond Mr. Lunch going to jail for no good reason. What kind of message is this book sending? You could be thrown in jail at the whim of somebody who doesn't like you. Don't bother to tell your story to the judge because he won't listen to you anyway - And when the system fails, just get your friends to help you break out of jail!

What's Wrong with a Free Lunch? (New Democracy Forum)

The proposal to guarantee a minimum income is ludicrous and flys in the face of individual liberty.

The whole problem in the world is that govts everywhere take too big a portion of their peoples outputs and are directly responsible for the poverty they create and perpetuate by making people dependent on govt.

America is the world's richest country in spite of this past hundred years of the welfare warfare statism elites re-imported from the Euro-statists our Founders gave the hook to.

Our absolute worst actors have been Hamilton and his cabal of corrupt bankers; Lincoln, to whom the continuation of the 3/4ths of federal revenues contributed by the south, then spent almost wholly on his northern crony "capitalists" and corrupt subsidized railroads, was more important than the South's duly constitutional right to succeed from the high tarrifs the north imposed to the South's financial detriment. Lincoln cared naught for the plight of the slaves and said so over and again.

Woodrow Wilson, installed puppet to his banking masters and the munitions merchants of death who aggitated for war, along with socalled proggressives like The Nation Magazine propgandists under their control. Gave the bankers their monopoly cartel and later lamented he'd ruined the country for doing so and resulted in perpetual debts for perpetual wars.

And FDR, whose cabinet the Venona decodes revealed from the Kremlin's archives in the 90's beyond all doubt, that figures such as Harry Dexter White, Rexford Tugwell & Alger Hiss, to name a mere few, were indeed Soviet operatives who some of actually lived in our WH.

Capitalism NEVER failed, it has been hamstrung and corrupted when big business and banking took over our govt 100 years ago with their monopoly cartels and wars for profit and treatment of the common man as cannon fodder and gift horses to be ground down for their enrichment.

The sole purpose of govt who the people as the principles only delegated to as our agent, was tthe protection our rights and our shores from invasion.

If this had remained the case, Americans would have all been millionaires by now, and we'd remained the beacon of freedom that has been slowly relinquished ever since Hamilton's banks.
