Opis

Today's Republicans have rejected the policies of Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower and millions of others to instead embrace the very rich-and their values. The GOP's moderate to liberal wing, which freed slaves and preserved the nation, is dead. It has been replaced by billionaires, their corporations and Crazy Right Wing Republicans. This book provides a frightening description of the ceaseless quest for profits that has pushed ordinary citizens into a freefall, reaping the whirlwind sown by the policies of billionaires. America has been turned into a profit stream and a safe haven for the wealthy, who now claim the U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S. Senate, 31 governorships, 29 state legislatures (holding both chambers, the most since the 1920s), 27 attorneys general, and when it suits them, the U.S. Supreme Court. Through it, they have opened the floodgates to unlimited "independent" campaign spending to secure their chokehold on a once great nation. The 2016 elections may prove to be America's last chance to save itself.
