I am not from the USA but I am aware of its politics and what’s happening there. I am curious to read about the authors take on the situation. I wonder if the issue of homelessness was tackled.

The topic is very interesting and intriguing! I’m looking forward to digging into this book to find out what the author has to say about License To Loot is an awareness hidden strategies with which citizens loot from the US government.

I'm not an American citizen so this book might not be for me. However, this is interesting since the book summarizes the events and the facts supporting it in his book. It also became handy to the readers as they will know the issues just as reading this book and not searching for different kind of medias. Thanks for your review.

I think the author segregates a huge portion of our society and suggesting people “are relying on the hard work of others” is overstating and putting a population into a “one category fits all” assumption.

The opinion Americans would rather sit back and be given hand outs is a narrow sighted view. It’s unfortunate, but so many deal with chronic pain, disabilities that literally make it impossible for them to work, while others suffer from mental disorders and need assistance on a long term basis. Most on welfare will tell you they really hate relying on a system that reduces their self-worth..
I think the book is great because it covers the topics American’s have debated for years. Bad part is, after all the debates, all the meetings and suggestions, the issues remain the same and without much change. This will keep the debates going. Congrats on BOTD! Great review.

This sounds like an informative read, and I'm glad it also provides solutions to the problems highlighted. Mental health and addiction are relevant topics in our society now, so I'm sure there's much to learn about that too.

Well-written and researched, today's BOTD is about American politics, the state of the US economy, and possible solutions to specific issues. Readers interested in government, corruption, and greed of those in leadership positions, as well as US citizens, will find this book interesting and informative. Thanks for the great review!! :-)

I appreciate the author's boldness in writing this book. The system is just too corrupt and I believe that the looting is two sided. Wonderful review and congratulations on being the BOTD!!!

Thank you for your thorough review. I'm glad that you enjoyed the book. While I'm not a political person, I do think I lot of our government, especially welfare causes more problems by how it is designed. I agree this book is great for everyone in government.

I have noticed that this problem is present in many countries throughout the world. And I am not convinced that it is wrong. Because the government too is stealing from citizens in their own ways.

People fail to understand that when we loot money from the government, we indirectly hinder the economic growth and development of such a country. Nice review.

I ended up reading the whole sample, but I don't think I will finish the book because the author goes back and forth with topics too often for me to follow along. However, the first seventy percent of the book brings up excellent points, especially about the opioid crisis. Thanks for the review!

This is very insightful and educative read. The content is well-organized and using simple term that easy to understand. Politics and history are not my cup of tea, tho. I appreciate the author also talks about mental health issue. Thank you for an excellent review.

The book must have taken some time to complete as it discusses on the economic issues in the American society. Congratulations on BOTD.

Post by Monell Williams-JnoBaptiste »

As the world's leading democracy, the United States of America has been a beacon for other emerging economies and democracies. Those of us who reside outside the U.S have all been enticed by the idea of the "American Dream." This book outlines the issues that exist with this vision, or ideology that the rest of the world has accredited to the U.S. The author illuminates the rampant abuse of power, drugs, and social welfare assistance and how these issues have weakened the economy of the U.S. He further highlights the part that past and present politicians have played in this destruction of America. Despite the criticism, the author makes recommendations regarding the existing flaws that he has identified in the system, bringing the conversation full circle back to the individual and the homes. He provides practical advice to the American citizenry on how they can assist in restoring the country to a place of economic and social restoration. A great choice for BoTD as the content is applicable to any patriot who may be interested in the political and social advancement of their country.
