Death of the American Heart - Peter Hughes - Bog

America used to be the greatest nation of all, but we've lost our edge. Our government isn't honest and is riddled with corruption. Our national traditions have fallen by the wayside, and our nonsensical government regulations, laws and controls impinge upon our constitutional freedoms. Is there anything we can do? Yes, says Peter Hughes, and in Death of the American Heart: A Blueprint to Engage the Silent Majority, he shows how we can restore out country to its rightful place in the world. Aimed at the Silent Majority, Death of the American Heart offers both unbridled optimism and a call to average citizens to become patriots. Passionately written, Death of the American Heart explores the foundations that made our country what it is, from the staunch values of the Pilgrims to the hopes of our Founding Fathers. It explores how America lost its moral compass and began transitioning from a great society to a mediocre one. How do we combat the crime and corruption that now flourish in every part of society? Hughes argues for a third party to come into power, one that can reestablish a strong sense of family and traditional values. Keep government small, he urges, and bring back our traditions like Christmas and Easter, while continuing to honor the diversity of our population. Downsize government by 30 percent and institute a flat tax for all Americans. We can bring our country back into its former glory, says Hughes, and this wise and impassioned book can begin to show us the steps and the differences each one of us can make.
