"Restoring the American Dream is a timeless classic, right up there with Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged and F.A. Hayek's The Road to Serfdom. Written in Robert Ringer's trademark easy-to-understand style, it presents an irrefutable case for both the moral and economic superiority of liberty." Arthur B. Laffer, PhD" "With Washington growing bigger and bigger by the day and distancing itself further and further from our precious Constitution and founding principles, the timing could not be better for Robert Ringer's classic Restoring the American Dream. What a gift this important work is to a nation yearning for liberty and freedom." Michele Bachmann, United States Congresswoman (R-Minnesota)" "When Robert Ringer first wrote Restoring the American Dream, he courageously challenged readers to return to the core American values of the primacy of the individual and the necessity for fidelity to the constitutional limitations on the powers of the government. He was right on the mark then and he is right on the mark now. In his new edition of this timeless book, he brilliantly makes the case that freedom is the default position in human affairs." Judge Andrew P. Napolitano, Senior Judicial Analyst, Fox News" "When Robert Ringer's classic Restoring the American Dream was first published, it introduced millions to the philosophy of natural law and private property rights that provide the moral basis for the free society. It is good to see this important work updated and revised for a new generation." Ron Paul, United States Congressman (R-Texas)" "Restoring the American Dream could transfuse a new generation with love and respect for the individual. This vital book arrives not a moment too soon. Robert Ringer will be read for generations to come. But Restoring the American Dream is needed right now, when liberty is under siege, when the future of the nation is in doubt, and when what is good in the soul of man can still heed Ringer's call to action." Dr. Keith Ahlow, author of Living the Truth: Transform Your life" "Through the Power of Insight and Honesty "In this classic text, in lucid prose, Robert Ringer lays out the basic principles of a free society. It is these principles that made the American dream a reality. And it is these principles by which it can be restored." David Horowitz, founder, David Horowitz Freedom Center" "In his 1979 landmark book Restoring the American Dream, Robert Ringer wrote of the pressing need for Americans to reclaim their God-given liberties. Now, in this completely revised and updated edition Restoring the American Dream: The Defining Voice in the Movement for Liberty Ringer's message is more relevant today than it was thirty years ago. In these pages, he covers such critical issues as:" "The only legitimate functions of government" "The internal decay of Western culture and how it has resulted in the United States devolving into a moral cesspool" "The economics of "nothingism" (socialism) and the evils of redistribution of wealth" "How government pits members of the middle class against each other" "Why the Selective Service System is a travesty on human rights" "Why the right to bear arms should be defended to the bitter end" "Why all tax cuts are nothing more than illusions" "The relentless push by today's progressives to create a totalitarian utopia of Washington-administered "benefits" and "rights" The Founding Fathers believed that people possess a natural right to sovereignty over their own lives and that government has no right to interfere with that sovereignty. In that tradition, the author makes it clear that the American Dream is not about government benefits and government-created "rights." It's about individualism, self-responsibility, and personal freedom. It's about people being above government, the principle upon which this country was founded. In Robert Ringer's candid, easy-tounderstand style, Restoring the American Dream explains what people must do to take back America and preserve the American Dream for our children and grandchildren.
