Summary: Conservative myth with dishonest use of statistics,
Review: Armey is too smart to consider this anything more than dishonest use of statistics of wealth and disguised "supply side" theory as ideological statement disguised as economics. Useful as charicature to understand positions taken but needs a critical reading and perhaps reference to Statistical Abstract of US. Ideology not Economics.

Summary: common sense
Review: Hmmmmmm.....the Republican House Leader here says that the Minimum Wage is against the American family and should not be raised or even exist. He states that such basic labor laws as publicly funded Social Security are 'anti-family.' He says that we need a flat tax of 17% which would see the top rate on the wealthiest 2% fall by more than 50%. He favors privatization of Medicare, Social Security and various labor laws.
Any economist worth his salt would agree.

Summary: Yet another ideological anti-family right wing work
Review: Hmmmmmm.....the Republican House Leader here says that the Minimum Wage is against the American family and should not be raised or even exist? Is he insane or what? He states that such basic labor laws as publicly funded Social Security are 'anti-family.' He says that we need a flat tax of 17% which would see the top rate on the wealthiest 2% fall by more than 50%. He favors privatization of Medicare, Social Security and various labor laws. He favors regressionin civil rights and the environment. He favors dismanteling all current gun laws, even those who ban AK-47's. This guy's crazy! This book is a pure looser by a pure looser and for a pure looser.

Summary: Armey lets Freedom ring
Review: In his book, Rep. Armey shows why and how Freedom is vital to ensure success for any nation. He begins with a quick history lesson, about how President Reagan gave the people the Freedom to use their own money with his large tax cuts, and how our national economy was transformed from stagnant to superlative. He goes on to show how Freedom and privatization can work in any area of public life: the economy, education, social security, medicare, and helping the needy. His main ponit is that government cannot do all the things people want it to do. He stresses that large government is dangerous and can cause irresponsibility just as it has in our inner cities with welfare. Only with Freedom from government can people be trusted to make their own decisions and use their money as they see fit. Dr. Armey's chapter on abortion and education can really open your eyes to see the real meaning of being pro-life and wanting a better future for our children. Unfortunately, many liberals would call Dr. Armey cold-hearted, mean, or insensitive. He is actually a realist who only wants government to stay out of our way so we can help ourselves as well as others. Through privatization, deregulation, responsibility, and trust can we in America overcome the shackles of big government and truly be Free. And for those people who speak of Dr. Armey's gun control stance, no where in the book did he speak of gun control. Which book did you read?

Summary: Let's Ruin America As We Know It
Review: Propaganda on how to dismantle our society, get rid of worker protections, get rid of safety nets, let illegal Maxicans on social security (which this Bush adminsitration has already done), ship jobs overseas and merge our society into a one-world government as recommended by Papa Bush during the 1991 war! By the way, do away with abortion so we can further overcrowd ourselves and live in a third world poverty struck country like India. Let's not forget NAFTA/GATT and what Papa Bush calls "The New World Order." By the way, let's further open our borders to more third world immigrants legal and illegal.
