Dependent on D.C.: The Rise of Federal Control Over the Lives of Ordinary Americans

New York: Palgrave, 2002. First Edition. First Printing. 422, notes, indexA Cato Institute Book. A leading expert on politics and privacy documents the origins and control of big government, from how social security makes seniors dependent on Washington to how schools push political agendas, and reveals how we can fight for policies that embrace personal freedom and accountability. Originally publicized by the government as convenience for the public, income tax withholding has proven to be the method by which over-taxation is made possible, and resistance to that over-taxation, impossible. The author argues that the growth of dependence on government in the past seventy years has not been accidental, that its creation has been bipartisan, and that it is accelerating. Condition: very good, very good.
