Synopsis
Dependent on D.C. is a compelling new book that raises serious questions about the future of liberty in America. Charlotte A. Twight proves beyond doubt that the growth of dependence on government in the past seventy years has not been accidental, that its creation has been bipartisan, and that it is accelerating. She reveals a universal tactic used by federal officials to expand government authority over the lives of all Americans and exposes the many forms this tactic has taken. Twight shows how growing federal power--driven by legislation, validated by Supreme Court decisions, and accelerated by presidential ambition--has eroded the rule of law in our nation, leaving almost no activity that the central government cannot at its discretion regulate, manipulate, or prohibit. A constitutional counterrevolution has occurred in America--one so profound that few today can imagine Americans free of dependence on government. Dependent on D.C. shows why Americans have not resisted this expansion of federal power and reveals the daunting magnitude of the changes needed to reverse our nation's spiral into dependency. In these uncertain times, Dependent on D.C. is the book Americans need to read when thinking about the future of their individual liberty in a country long committed to the ideal of personal freedom.

Condition: very good, very good. First Edition. First Printing. 422, notes, indexA Cato Institute Book. A leading expert on politics and privacy documents the origins and control of big government, from how social security makes seniors dependent on Washington to how schools push political agendas, and reveals how we can fight for policies that embrace personal freedom and accountability. Originally publicized by the government as convenience for the public, income tax withholding has proven to be the method by which over-taxation is made possible, and resistance to that over-taxation, impossible. The author argues that the growth of dependence on government in the past seventy years has not been accidental, that its creation has been bipartisan, and that it is accelerating.
