 2008-11-11 - Great account on current events
I am not one for the alarmist viewpoint because most of them rant and complain and offer little facts or solutions to the problem. Some of these view points are unsubstantiated also. Many are partial and only explain the viewpoint of the author's belief, not the whole picture. But Fleeced is quite different.
First if you have read the title, you would notice that the authors mention Barack Obama, but he really monopolizes only the first chapter of the book, the rest is how our country, the press and media, lobbyists, foreign governments, a do nothing congress, Teacher's Unions, others are ripping us off and directing the events that shape the lives of each American. It is disturbing and very factual.
The book is not an attack on the Democrats and the book sites many Republicans who are also contemptible. This makes the book not only factual, but impartial and a joy to read.
When reading the book, my eyes were opened to the fact that we as consumers of the media and press have not heard of any terrorist attacks, negative information on the democrat presidential candidate, the real story behind the sub prime crisis, or any real information on what our congress is doing. That is because our media is bias and is trying to convince you they are not. They are trying to dictate who you should vote for president, water down our terrorist threat, the many companies who are lobbying our congress because they feel we are not smart enough to handle the truth. This book is very enlightening this way.
What was really interesting, the book published in March 2008 explains the sub prime crises to a "T" and how a bailout would hurt Americans, not help them. "The Bush plan doesn't involve any direct federal subsidy, since it capitalizes on the federal government's ability to borrow money at a lower rate then private lenders can. But --- and there is a catch --- if any of these new borrowers defaults, it will be we, American taxpayers, who foot the bill." This is something scary.
During this election period, we all need to read this book to make sure we are voting for the right candidate, not just the less of two evil.
I highly recommend this book.
Enjoy
 2008-11-10 - A piece of garbage...
If you enjoy reading trashy books by loathsome political turncoats, this is the book for you. Should be in the fiction section.
 2008-11-09 - Incredibly Relevant
If you purchased this book before the election, but haven't read it yet, I would suggest you do so. Although the editing could use a bit of work, much of the information presented in this book will be useful as we move into a new era. Dick Morris knows his stuff.
2008-11-09 - Obama: First Mexican in office... please re-lect Bush for '12 election!
While im Sad that Bush Couldn't be re-elected in '08... hopefully we can get him in office again with Sarah Palin in '12
In other news, Obama makes history by being the first Mexican presdient. What's next for the USA? 'La Bamba' as the new national anthem?
Bush/Palin '08!
2008-11-04 - History Passes Morris by...
How amusing that Morris teh toe-sucker is now already in sudden remainder with this homage to a Bush economy that has exploded and taken most of the world's financial system with it.
This was worse than betting on the wrong horse: this was betting on a bubble economy, and the bet failed to pay off. This is a fun book to read as you watch your 401k turn into a lump of coal. Otherwise, it's worthless.
