Restoring the American Dream: The Defining Voice in the Movement for Liberty
In his 1979 landmark book Restoring the American Dream, Robert Ringer wrote of the pressing need for Americans to reclaim their God-given liberties. Now, in this completely revised and updated edition—Restoring the American Dream: The Defining Voice in the Movement for Liberty—Ringer's message is more relevant today than it was thirty years ago. In these pages, he covers such critical issues as:The only legitimate functions of governmentThe internal decay of Western culture and how it has resulted in the United States devolving into a moral cesspoolThe economics of "nothingism" (socialism) and the evils of redistribution of wealthHow government pits members of the middle class against each otherWhy the Selective Service System is a travesty on human rightsWhy the right to bear arms should be defended to the bitter endWhy all tax cuts are nothing more than illusionsThe relentless push by today's progressives to create a totalitarian utopia of Washington-administered "benefits" and "rights"The Founding Fathers believed that people possess a natural right to sovereignty over their own lives and that government has no right to interfere with that sovereignty. In that tradition, the author makes it clear that the American Dream is not about government benefits and government-created "rights."  It's about individualism, self-responsibility, and personal freedom. It's about people being above government, the principle upon which this country was founded. In Robert Ringer's candid, easy-to-understand style, Restoring the American Dream explains what people must do to take back America and preserve the American Dream for our children and grandchildren.
