Publisher's Synopsis
Private enterprise has provided citizens with the same benefits that governments dispense in our contemporary world. Only cheaper and better. The contention of all 20th century States has been that only through governmental funding can universal schooling, health care, and a "safety net" be provided. The reality proves otherwise. One wonders how Uncle Sam became a central force in this basic social endeavor in the 20th and 21st centuries. Washington's "benevolence" to dispense billions of dollars to promote tax-funded schooling, had as its basis, the intense necessity to transform the minds and souls of Southern children, so they would never be the rebels against federal authority like their parents had been. By the beginning of the 20th century this radical form of curriculum entered the Northern states. As a result of that revelation, this became a major area of my writing. The last part of this book is about America's military. At first glance this seems far afield from a discourse on the free market. But that is incorrect. Our Founding Fathers believed in limited government, which allows a large arena for freedom and free enterprise. They feared a large standing army, realizing that it would eventually transform the U.S.A. into a military dictatorship that would drastically reduce our freedoms and the ability to maintain a free enterprise economy. So, to discuss the folly of our armed forces and its simultaneous takeover of our lives and its self-destructiveness, is appropriate.
