Government Ruins Nearly Everything: Reclaiming Social Issues from Uncivil Servants - Paperback

by Laura Carno (Author)

What government touches, it breaks.

So why do we ask it to solve our most pressing and personal issues: abortion, schools, guns and marriage? Has its failures with VA hospitals, the war on drugs, farm subsidies, the IRS, NSA leaks, and the war on poverty given us any reason to trust them?

Yet we still do. Over and over. Because we think there's no alternative.

But there is. Government Ruins Nearly Everything helps you remember who's the boss and who's the public servant, and gives you tools to reclaim what was yours all along. You'll learn:

• Why private citizens are best suited to solve the "fireworks" issues
• How to keep the government from ruining our lives even more
• What you can do, step-by-step, to reclaim ownership of the things that matter most

The same as every American: reset the balance, one free citizen at a time.

Author Biography

Laura Carno is a Colorado citizen who understands that politicians are not kings, endowed with some birthright to parcel out our freedoms in tiny doses as they see fit. She knows it's not the job of hired civil servants to tell us what size soda to drink, which light bulbs to buy, or what kind of insurance our family needs. She believes instead that we're all adults who don't need to be told how to live, but who instead need to stand their ground when government gets the relationship with its citizens upside down. When elected officials forget whose money they are spending and whose rights they are eroding, when they forget who's the boss and who's the public servant-then it's up to citizens to speak out and reset the balance. Find her speaking out against the "Mother, May I?" culture, one issue at a time, at www.lauracarno.com and @LauraCarno.
