"Our Founding Fathers knew all about the Ruling Class; they rebelled against their tyranny and set up a government designed to make it hard for one class to assume control. But after a hundred years of trying, it seems the Ruling Class have finally achieved their golas. We might still have the power to dislodge them, but with the way things are going, we may not have it for long." - from Conspiracies of the Ruling Class and rear outer jacket. "A Ruling Class has emerged in America, against the hopes and designs of our Founders. Over the last hundred years, this class have rejected the Constitution and expanded their own power, slowly at first and now rapidly. These people believe themselves justified because they think they are smarter than the rest of us - so smart they can run our lives better than we can. But for all the power and resources at their command, they have failed. Miserably. Society has become increasingly unequal, even as we're promised "equality." Our government finances are out of control, our basic infrastructure is broken, and education is unaffordable and mediocre. And yet the ruling class think the solution is for us to cede it ever more control. We can stop this - but to do so we must unite. In Conspiracies of the Ruling Class, Lawrence Lindsey lays out his plan for how we can use common sense to change the way our country is run. We must reawaken the spirit upon which America was founded, with liberty for every person to pursue his own dreams." - from the inner front jacket flap. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Lawrence B.
