Here's What It's All About
#1 New Release Bestseller and Amazon Bestseller
People have not changed much over the millennia regarding needs, desires and incentives. These impact and are impacted by policies created by government. Some of those policies have promoted progress and freedom while others have resulted in terrible violations of freedom and needless poverty. Yet our leaders refuse to learn from history and keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again expecting a different result (or more likely, they are quite aware of the mistakes but ignore them for votes).
In this book you will learn:
- The most important ingredient to the economy
- Rights that are truly rights vs. “rights” that are wrongs
- Everyone is self-interested
- Nothing can be consumed without effort
- Trade not only enhances wealth but also transfers knowledge across the world
- There is a synergy to the economy that is difficult to imagine, but is real and results in an ever-increasing economic pie
- Competition is vital to increasing wealth
- Equality is a pipe dream and will never be achieved
- Why the Green-With-Envy New Deal is a socialist ruse rather than truly attempting to help the environment
- How it is impossible for Bernie and the other Democrats for president to deliver on all their promises without bankrupting the country and creating devastation in the economy

Quotes From The Book
- Regarding capitalism vs. socialism, “There is nothing wrong with any of the isms; people operating in those systems are the problem.”
- “A true, direct democracy would have all citizens vote on everything, also known as majoritarianism…all of which most people in this country would be utterly incapable of understanding enough to cast an educated vote. That is why we are a republic, where we democratically elect representatives who are also utterly incapable of understanding enough to cast an educated vote.”
- “If something as relatively easy to measure and study like nutrition science is complicated and unsettled, climate science has to be complicated to the nth power and very unsettled.”
- “The Bern believes he has a magic wand that will take us to Nirvana, but it is really a pipe bomb with a timer on it.”
- “If something is not free, no one has a right to it.”
- “The best equalizer in history has been economic growth, not government handouts.”
- “If you’re reading this and you aren’t worried about how you’re going to get your next meal, where you’re going to sleep or if you’ll have something to wear, you take society for granted. If you are more concerned about getting the latest cell phone rather than if you will eat tomorrow, then you have no clue.”
- “You aren’t human without emotions and words, but you aren’t alive without logic and actions.”
- “You consume much, much, much more than you produce.”
- Remember the phrase, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me?” I have come up with a new saying more appropriate for today: “Trigger words, white men are turds; protect me with a safe space.”
- “Are citizens of capitalistic countries voluntarily moving en masse to socialist ones, or is it the other way around? Are capitalistic countries incarcerating their people with barbed wire, electrified fences, and armed guards, or are socialist countries doing that?”
- “Socialism is like putting coarse sandpaper on the bottom of your skis – it makes it much more difficult to get down the mountain, if you get down at all.”
- Social security “…is the greatest Ponzi scheme inflicted on our people in history.”
