In all fairness, I did not finish this book. I put it aside in disgust, because it is such a gross oversimplification. Once I saw statistics that I knew had been manipulated to serve his point, I completely lost interest. The premise of his book is essentially this: if you are American, and don't live entirely off the grid, and you use any public service- you are a moocher. There is definitely mooching occurring in the United States, but those moochers are not the individuals and/or groups that Mr. Sykes saves most of his vitriol for.

However, if you are a Tea Party member, you will most likely love this book.
