The facts
At least 50 of the 425 terrorists released from GuantÁnamo have returned to the battlefield to fight our troops.
Barack Obama has called for $1 trillion in tax increases over the next ten years--and dressed them up as tax cuts!
Up to a quarter of all state pension funds in the United States are invested in companies that are helping Iran, Syria, North Korea, or the Sudan--for a total of nearly $200 billion.
Big business, big government, big labor, big lobbyists, and their self-serving agendas are doing nothing to help the ever-increasing number of American people who are losing their homes and their jobs.
In this hard-hitting call to arms, Dick Morris and Eileen McGann reveal the hundreds of ways American taxpayers are routinely fleeced--by our own government, by foreign countries, by Washington lobbying firms, by hedge-fund billionaires, and by the president himself--and offer practical agendas we all can follow to help turn the tide.

another book with few true fact and a lot of ulterior motive:
OK, so I didn't expect perfection and did expect a one sided effort, but I did at least hope for mostly honest facts and a real straight forward effort. I didn't get anything like that. Look, it has been proven time and again that there is no such thing as "The Liberal Media" when actual facts and stories are counted up. The largest newspaper in my state is anything but liberal and we are usually considered a Democrat state. Not all, but most quality news is pretty evenly split or unbiased.
