In his new book, Elder is out to slay entrenched and enmeshed special interest groups, government agencies with the capacity to meddle in Americans' lives and businesses, lawmakers who continue a pattern of outrageous overtaxation, and those who would hamstring this country with good intentions.

- What a Republican-led government means for progress

Larry Elders straight talk and common-sense solutions spare no one and will inspire his passionate and growing audience.

From AudioFile

The radio commentator and author of THE TEN THINGS YOU CAN'T SAY IN AMERICA says that liberal government mandates are disrespectful to the intentions of the Constitution framers and the self-respect of the American people. Elder cites data showing that liberal democratic social programs haven't produced the results they intended, and he pulls together an impressive list of such failures. But many of his arguments are bombastic and oversimplify the natural conflict between free enterprise and the social role of government. He sounds like an extreme Libertarian, a media ideologue who has complaints but no solutions. Entertaining and provocative, the program is worth hearing regardless of one's viewpoint.
