Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:
Is it any wonder that Americans feel fleeced at every turn? As more and more critical problems develop that need national attention, the White House and Congress appear to be AWOL. Who's calling the shots instead? Big business, big government, big labor, and big lobbyists. And their self-serving agendas are doing nothing to help the ever-increasing number of American people who are losing their homes, paying credit card interest rates higher than 25 percent, and finding their jobs increasingly outsourced to foreign countries. In this hard-hitting call to arms, Dick Morris and Eileen McGann reveal the hundreds of ways American tax-payers are routinely fleeced—by our own government; by foreign countries like Dubai that are gobbling up American interests and spending millions to influence government decisions and American public opinion; by Washington lobbying firms that are pushing the agendas of corrupt foreign dictators on Capitol Hill; and by hedge-fund billionaires collecting huge tax breaks courtesy of the IRS. With their characteristic blend of sharp analysis and insider insight, Morris and McGann call offenders of all kinds on the carpet—and offer practical agendas we all can follow to help turn the tide. Book News Annotation:Morris, a former political consultant to Bill Clinton who is often
credited with prime responsibility for the President's rightward
"triangulations," together with his frequent collaborator McGann,
continue the polemical exercise they began in 2007's Outrage. They
begin with an attack on Barack Obama as a creature of the "far left"
and go on to attack the "liberal media" for downplaying terrorism,
the Democratic Congress for continuing the "do-nothing" ways of their
Republican predecessors, pension funds for investing in companies
that do business with Iran, lobbyists for foreign governments, credit
card company abuse, the release of prisoners from Guantanamo who go
on to take up arms again, teachers' unions for misleading their
members into investing in high-cost annuity policies, subprime loan
issuers, the contractor Halliburton, Chinese toys with toxic
materials, and various other issues.
