Overview

Would you like to see... ... the United States budget balanced in one year? ... the $15 trillion debt gone in 10 years? ... the Internal Revenue Service abolished? ... a simple FairTax that would allow you to keep your entire paycheck with no deductions? ... a healthcare system based on free enterprise, not government bureaucracy? ... a free market based Social Security program that would let you control your own assets and leave an estate for your heirs? ... empowerment and entrepreneurship instead of entitlement and dependency? ... the United States respected again as the beacon of hope for the world? ... half of all non-violent inmates released from prison? ... an education system with competition through the use of vouchers so parents determine where their children go to school? On February 5, 2008, Marlin Thompson authored an online post Benevolent Dictators Make Good Government . Examples of benevolent dictators are King David - Israel - (1010 BC -970 B.C.) in ancient times and General Douglas McArthur - Japan - (1945 -1952) in modern times. Marlin started musing about what he would do if he were absolute dictator of the United States for one year to fast track our country back to a position of primacy and prosperity. The United States has outlasted, by 35 years, the world's great civilization's average of 200 years, but we are now on the road to bondage. This book details brief, concise, easy-to-understand ideas for restoring America to economic and military prominence. If these tenants were implemented, there would be full employment, and the United States would again be the symbol of hope for the world. No politician on the horizon has the guts to propose these concepts. They're just whistling past the graveyard, but if we don't do something radical, we are doomed. We are becoming increasingly addicted to government, and politicians are the dealers of the drug named dependency . The book is designed to make politicians and average citizens think about what could be possible.
