Overview

Cracks in the Foundation exposes flaws in the conservative position on taxes and government. Based on evidence, not opinions, the author shows that: ? Our tax burden grew during most of the 20th century, but didn't prevent our prosperity. ? Wealthy countries?including several with high economic growth?have high tax burdens; poor countries have low tax burdens. ? Investment in the public sector makes us healthier, wealthier, and freer. ? In the federal government, contractors and grant recipients outnumber civil servants more than four to one. ? Outsourcing more government work to the private sector is apt to have a very limited effect on the cost of government. ? The private sector cannot replace government in caring for the needy. ? Faith-based initiatives may help the urban poor but they are no panacea.
