Government Gone Wild

How D.C. Politicians Are Taking You for a Ride -- and What You Can Do About It

De: Kristin Tate

Narrado por: Avalon Kingsbury

With humor and a modern perspective, young conservative journalist Kristin Tate points out what's broken in our government and shows readers how they can fix it.

Do you really think you're "free?" #LOL.

D.C. politicians ship our friends and family overseas to fight in wars we shouldn't be fighting. They monitor our emails, record our phone calls, and peer into our snail mail. They spend our hard-earned cash on things no disciplined family would buy. They tell us who we can marry and what we can put in our bodies. They throw us in overcrowded prisons for smoking pot. They take lavish trips around the world, staying in five-star hotels. . . and it comes straight out of our paychecks.

This isn't freedom.

Government Gone Wild is a brash, bold ride through the carnival of absurdities that our broken system has become. This isn't about Democrats vs. Republicans. . . it's about inspiring hard working Americans to give a damn so we can take our country back. This is your wakeup call. You're not anywhere near as free as you think you are -- but you can be. We're not as prosperous as we once were -- but we can be.

Good Perspective.

Any additional comments?

The author does a good job pointing out how the government has become mislead and now interferes with our basic freedoms as United States citizens.

The author does put too much of herself and her stories in it making it a bit long-winded.

fox news kept promoting it

Any additional comments?

I gave this a try because the girl who wrote it is really pretty. Seriously, look her up. Anyways it's a good listen for an introduction into the libertarian point of view. It's basically 7 hours of John Stossel if he were a millennial woman. So if you like millennial John Stossel, this is right up your alley.

The depth of the topics are a little shallow though because she runs the gamut of the conservative-libertarian platform so make sure to supplement all the points she made with your own information before you start arguing with other people at dinner parties.

Final point: it's also a little condescending like she's talking to people who haven't had any interests outside of partying and television. I'm guessing that's the target demographic but I don't think they read books anyways so it'll probably never reach their eyes. If you can get pass that, it's well written.

TL;DR -

1 basically millennial John Stossel.

2 covers libertarian topics but shallow.

3 probably made for people who don't read books but well written.
