Enslaved Together: A Utopian Blueprint for Nationalizing America's Future
On a technical level, the book is well written in that the authors give concise details of all their plans for America once they get their hands on her, if they do, that is. But I couldn't stand listening to more than an hour of the Audible version I wasted a credit on and skimmed the remainder of my Kindle version, all the while shaking my head.
The book details ambitious plans for overhauling everything from infrastructure to manufacturing to clean energy, etc. and much within their first 100 days because they say that they aren't going to wait for people such as "defeatists in Congress to take action." The book also documents their plans for making debt-free college available to all Americans, but that section doesn't say who's going to foot the bill just a small statement that they are going to "Push employers to contribute to student-debt relief."
The book also has sections on regulations for companies to make them "share profits with employees" and lots more promises of goodies for everyone, no doubt, in an attempt to buy their votes. All this, and the authors plan on defeating ISIS and global terrorism too.
And that's only the first half of the book! Skimming, skimming, skimming...
I don't believe the authors can do all that they say they are going to do in this book, and I don't want them to even try. Not one single progressive proposal in this book is going to make you and me as fellow Americans, "Stronger Together." If you decide to read the book yourself and manage to get through it all, please read between the lines and keep asking yourself who will pay for everything proposed and at what price will it come?
