Synopsis

Make no mistake about it, America's days as the world's economic and technological superpower are numbered. This book is about the factors that are driving that decline. It is a concise discourse of our biggest problems written with just enough detail that anyone can understand it without being mired in technicalities. Our inept government can not work together to solve our problems but continues to borrow and spend at levels we can never hope to pay. Every tax paying citizen in America is essentially carrying a second mortgage. Our tax system is designed to ensure that the steady increase in the percentage of wealth held by a small minority continues. Those with money, including big business are buying our government every day. The poorest among us are also being showered with monetary gifts by our government, in many cases obtained fraudulently. Our health care system is by far the most expensive in the world yet it underperforms most other developed countries. Our education system, one of the most expensive in the world is ranked 25th among developed countries. Americans must know these facts and must rise up and demand radical change. I have offered suggestions on paths we might take to curtail the decline of America.
