Your Taxes was a favorite of Ronald Reagan, who quoted from it during his 1980 presidential campaign and then gave copies of the book to every Cabinet member. A later book, Land of Opportunity, in which Lambro wrote about the economic boom of the 1980s and the entrepreneurs of that decade, was reviewed in the Wall Street Journal by George Gilder, who declared that the book should be used in every high-school and introductory college economics course in the United States. Lambro has been in Washington for more than 30 years following politics and writing about political goings-on with uncommon clarity and common sense. He received the Outstanding Journalist Award from the Conservative Political Action Conference in 1981 for Fat City. He s been a recipient of the National Taxpayers Union award for outstanding efforts to curtail government spending.
