At first, I thought this was a comedy book like Stephen Colbert's "I am America". More long winded and very much drier, but a little research revealed that Mr. Levin is serious. That is scary!
He calls Rachel Carson to task for exaggerating the percentage of children dying from DDT by her not pointing out that less children are dying from other causes such as malnutrition. Clearing this up would evidently bring the number of children dying from DDT poisoning down to acceptable levels for Mr. Levin. Later in the book he mentions Reagan's tax cuts of 1982 and puts up stats from 1987 and 1989 to show the economic benefits of the tax cuts, "after the full affect of the tax cuts has been felt". Here he fails to mention that between 1983 and 1989, Reagan raised taxes three times, the last being a tax on the wealthy! I can understand why he ignores this fact, it doesn't mesh with the current Reagan myth, but it seriously erodes his argument for the benefits of tax cuts.
This book is written with considerable condescension towards the reader. Conservatives are always depicted as wholesome, good people who want freedom and liberty for all and Liberals, called stateists in the book, are cast as miserable wretches who only want the rest of humanity to be as miserable as they are, this is to be achieved by government control. Conservatives, for example, want to get oil out of Alaska so they can power the tractors to grow healthy food for American children and power the machines necessary to build churches in our communities. Stateists, however, want the government to control and ration food and fuel and destroy the Constitution in the process.
Mr. Levin continually extends the idea that every citizen should be able to keep what he has earned through his own work or intelligence, but the policies he advocates would bring us to a feudalist plutocracy. If he really believed in his own ideas he'd be promoting the abolition of income and payroll taxes and the only source of government revenue would be taxes on unearned income, capital gains, estate taxes, etc. This however is in direct opposition to the conservative movement and my guess is that this volume is only a way for the author to exploit that movement for his own financial welfare.
