Involved in the media for several years, John Stossel presents his case with many anecdotes and research. It shows how he became more of a conservative after his disillusionment with liberals and the liberal media. Some of his views I don't agree with. But, for the most part, Stossel confirms some conclusions I previously came to on my own from observation, experience and reading.
Stossel argues for limited government; less rules and regulations; and a revamping of our legal system. I especially liked the chapters on "Welfare for the Rich" and "The Trouble with Lawyers". You may not agree with all his arguments but at least he's 'been there, done that'. His book makes you think and maybe even reassess what you thought was true or took for granted in our country. I love books that get me to look at things differently. Stossel's book is just that type of fascinating read.
