In Restoring the American Dream, Robert Ringer, in his candid, unapologetic style, explains what people must do to take back America and preserve the American Dream for our children and grandchildren. And he makes it clear that the starting point is to accord liberty a higher priority than all other objectives.

The Founding Fathers believed that people possess a natural right to sovereignty over their own lives and that government has no right to interfere with that sovereignty. In that vein, the author underscores the point that the American Dream is not about government benefits or government-created “rights.” Rather, it’s about individualism, self-responsibility, personal freedom, and, above all, the idea that people are above government.

ROBERT RINGER now sounds a clarion call for the personal liberty and individual freedom you cannot afford to ignore....
The time has come. The citizens of this country either must draw the line and take America back from the politicians who now control it, or they must be prepared to relinquish forever their remaining claims on liberty.
The American Dream was about individualism and the opportunity to achieve success without interference from others. The heart of the American Dream is freedom: the lifeblood is free enterprise.

Index

In this remarkable book, Robert J. Ringer explains and solves, with typical Ringeristic clarity, scores of government-created problems, including the `inflation swindle` taxation, the socalled energy crisis, unemployment, excessive government regulation, and the Social Security mess.
Says Ringer, `the American Dream was not about government`s taking huge sums of money (under the label of `taxation) from citizens by force. The American Dream was about individualism and the opportunity to achieve success without interference from others. It is time for Big Brother to get out of our private lives and off our backs-to let go of the reins and allow us to control our own destinies. For you and me, the picture is pretty clear: we either restore the American Dream, right here and now, or we most certainly will never live to experience it again.

`People throughout the world who believe in the cause of human freedom, who have a common belief in the lib-city of man, will surely share in the spirit of this book. and I urge each one of them to spread the word to as many others as possible so that the restoration of the American Dream can become a reality
