Uncle Sam's Plantation : How Big Government Enslaves America's Poor and What We Can Do About It
Uncle Sam's Plantation How Big Government Enslaves America's Poor and What We Can Do About It
Author: Star Parker
America has two economic systems: capitalism for the rich and socialism for the poor. This double-minded approach seems to keep the poor enslaved to poverty while the rich get richer. Let's face it, despite its $400 billion price tag, welfare isn't working. The solution, asserts Star Parker, is a faith-based, not state-sponsored, plan. In Unc...  more », she offers five simple yet profound steps that will allow the nation's poor to go from entitlement and slavery to empowerment and freedom. Parker shares her own amazing journey up from the lower rungs of the economic system and addresses the importance of extending the free market system to this neglected group of people. Emphasizing personal initiative, faith, and responsibility, she walks readers toward releasing the hold poverty has over their lives.

If you want to know the truth about the effects of the Welfare program on families this is a must read. Though Welfare was created with the best of intentions, it has become another form of slavery. Now I understand why my mother told me as a kid to never, ever get on Welfare.

Powerful account of choosing a life of independence and the rewards America holds for each of us if we believe in Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

This is the story of one woman's awakening to the bigotry of 'big' government...inspiring.
