We are murdering industrial America, self-reliant America,
entrepreneurial America, confident America, proud America.
In its place we erect a welfare state, a nanny state, a
parental state, a nation of dependent adults. Call it
whatever you like. We stumble along, bitterly divided, not
so far behind Western Europe.
Is this good? If that is what we really want and freely
vote
for it. No non controversial moral principle forbids us to
follow this course. But are we sufficiently aware of the
not
only economic price that we must inevitably pay?
The salient question is why? Was this historically
incomparable nation built on parental government
principles?
Can such a government guarantee greater freedom? Justice?
Fairness? Compassion? Equality? Voters have repeatedly
answered yes. To all the above questions this book
forcefully answers no. The chapters focus on two overarching themes. One, the
world, with emphasis on the United States, is in a
potential
deadly moral crisis as harmful principles and practices
displace traditional ones among which many bring equal
harm.
Second, the book argues that the political solutions that
we
commonly apply to satisfy our needs must inevitably fail
to
achieve their purpose simply because our moral dilemma and
political problems are not at root political. They cannot
be
resolved by electing the "right" political party. This book presents a compelling argument that the tiresome
squabbling in Congress will never achieve anything
constructive until we adopt a radically different view of
ourselves as individuals and begin to move our nation in a
much healthier direction.
