If offers the reader new perspectives on what has happened to the freedom idea in recent decades, and more importantly, will guide you to increase the quality, quantity, and effectiveness of your political engagement. When we launched CATS, the purpose was to eliminate an agency that was tyranny incarnate. In addition, we see a tax code that is manipulating our resources, the result of our own production, to achieve political ends. The government redistribution system overrides freedom and denies the rewards of personal effort and upward mobility for all. Understanding the practical importance of freedom in society and government is a motivating factor that can keep CATS members focused and engaged in this somewhat long and protracted battle.
Many citizens feel powerless.
They see an overwhelming government run by distant politicians. They concede the government to powerful special interests. In that frame of mind they don't act. That is the barrier we face and the way out is through citizens understanding. We must be smart and band together to communicate to government.
