Opis

What would you do if you were King of America? Everybody yells at the TV during election season, but if you really had four years to fix things, what problems would you even start with? How about a royal amendment setting the pay of congressmen at 3.5 times the average income of the district they represent, so that their success is dependent on the degree to which America is flourishing? What alterations would you make to the war on drugs? Which government agencies would you scrap and why? How would you root out corruption in government and keep it out after your four years? Kevin High yells at the news too. After a distinguished and highly successful career in business, he's applied a lifetime spent developing a rare financial expertise to the problems facing America. His book, King, is an outside look at politics filled with simple solutions that will ruffle feathers on both sides of the aisle before uniting readers under the banner of common interest. King is a fact-heavy, plainly written book that will resonate with political newcomers and experts alike, who will all wonder why we hadn't thought of these answers before. REVIEWS: "America needs a king - or benevolent dictator - who can get things done. More importantly, we need people to read books like this and understand the mess we are in. I am so pleased that Kevin has taken the time to develop these ideas and spell them out in this book, and I'm proud of his efforts to help the country I love so dearly " -- Robert E. "Teddy" Turner IV
