Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A Different Kind of Political Book, By a Different Kind of Political Author! Author's Note: To my fellow American's. I think it important that each of you understand that I am neither an expert nor a pundit of any kind. I am, instead, very much like most of you. I have a wife and a daughter,… a job which is ostensibly 40 hours per week but usually comes in between 50 and 60 hours, and precious little time or desire to pay attention to the farce that passes as politics and government in this country. So, you are probably saying, how did this book come to be? After the birth of our daughter I began to realize that dis-engagment by people such as each of you and me and my wife is exactly the thing that "the establishment" is counting on. How else could they hope to continue enriching themselves while destroying the nation that has so blessed countless generations before us. President Thomas Jefferson once said: " If we run into such debts, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses; and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they now do, on oatmeal and potatoes; have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account; " And thus began this book. I have made my very best attempt to provide completely factual information in the most objective way possible, while being as entertaining as I am capable with such a subject, and last but not least completely civil in language and tone. The hope is that even those of you, especially those of you, who would never "waste time" on a political book will give this one a chance. My hope is that you will be glad that you did, and the nation will be better off for it. Thanks, Charles F. Stamper Charles F. Stamper's The Grand Old Party and The Party of the People made an admittedly humorous, yet persuasive case for the ideological bankruptcy of both the Democratic and Republican Parties. In this most crucial time, this ordinary working man embarks on a much more serious exploration of the idea that both individuals and American society as a whole are being devoured by the predominance of the two party system. In A Dimes Difference?: Democrats, Republicans, and the US National Debt Stamper asks, what is the mechanism that allures a free people while simultaneously threatening to destroy them? In the end, Stamper's message is clear: The American republic is in extreme jeopardy. The people must now choose between preserving their own liberty and the fulfillment of this most dire warning from President George Washington: "However combinations or associations of the above description may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion."
