Description
It's true... we are killing the American Dream. Out of the top 30 countries in the world, the U.S. ranks 16th in literacy, 21st in mathematics, and 14th in problem solving. National unfunded obligations are more than $100 trillion while U.S. household debt is at an all-time high of $13.2 trillion. We have one the most litigious societies in the world, our incarceration rate is among the highest globally, and our state and federal legislatures are convinced that they are our cradle-to-grave caretakers. The American Dream embraced by countless immigrants during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, is not what their American descendants have lived during the 2oth and 21st centuries. Our progenitors enjoyed a level of freedom and liberty that we can only imagine. How can we claim that America is the greatest nation in to world when 60% of our population can't even pass the U.S. Citizenship test? What have we done with the legacy of liberty that the founders so carefully crafted for us? And what are we creating to pass down to our own grandchildren? In American: Killing the American Dream, Shanon Brooks presents hands-on solutions for restoring an America that is quickly disappearing. Forged on a unique college campus, these remedies for re-energizing the forgotten principles of liberty will inspire those who are wondering if it's too late to restore our great American Legacy.
